| - I never got the chance to go here before the fire, so this new building is my only experience with the place.
We went during a February afternoon. Just because it's Arizona, doesn't mean February is warm....we opted to sit inside, but since the entire back of the restaurant is open air, it was pretty much like sitting deep inside a park gazebo, with the wind blowing in every so often creating a slight chill. I'm not complaining (well, I am just a little bit), but be forewarned that you may need some sort of sweater or cover-up even if you choose to sit inside.
I ordered the "Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Green Chiles, Tomatoes, Cheese and Fries" and a coke. There were actually onions and lettuce involved, but I didn't eat those or the tomato. I thought the sandwich was pretty tasty; the chicken was cooked perfectly and the green chiles really added that special something to the sandwich. The fries were thick, not thin, and were tasty as well. Refills on soda were free.
For dessert, we ordered the "Campfire S'mores". There were enough ingredients to make 6 s'mores; more than enough for our party of four. Arriving in a cast iron muffin pan, it came with a small can of portable gel that was pre-lit, thus creating the roasting fire. There were wooden skewers for the marshmallows, and plenty of chocolate and graham crackers to go round. It was a fun and delicious concept.
This place is also known as the Packer Bar, and there is a small area near the front of the restaurant dedicated to the green and gold. While all sports fans are welcome here, I feel like they are just a little bit nicer to those who are devoted to Green Bay. If you feel they don't treat you well here, you can always go next door to the Steelers Bar........good luck with that.
Out back are a few corrals which hold cattle during bull riding events, but that wasn't happening during my visit. The back area is also pretty big and I think they hold church services back there for bikers on Sundays.
If you're a Cheesehead who finds themselves on the outskirts of Phoenix, head over to the Buffalo Chip. You'll feel like you never left home......almost!
