| - While on a business trip, I stopped here for lunch and overall I was very satisfied. Comfortable, good service, and good food made for a relaxing Sunday afternoon lunch.
I seated myself in the indoor part of the casual restaurant in front of a TV playing the golf tournament. It took several minutes before a server came to give me a menu, but I wasn't in a hurry so that was tolerable. I got an iced water to cool off after being outside in the hot Phoenix sun, and the servers and busboys kept it full throughout the meal which was much appreciated.
I started with the "frickles", a basket of deep fried dill pickle spears that were fantastic. The pickles inside were very flavorful and tasty, while the fried batter was super crispy and delicious. Probably the highlight of my meal, they were excellent.
The place has tons of burgers, salads, and sandwiches that sounded good, but what caught my eye was the Sonoran-style hot dog: an all beef Vienna sausage with a sesame seed bun, topped with bacon, guacamole, chopped tomatoes and jalapeƱos, and a spicy aioli. I was hoping it would be a little spicier, but a little Cholula helped kick it up a notch. Decent, but I think it could've been a little more flavorful.
Overall, the experience was casual, comfortable, and satisfying. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking for a quick and reasonably priced meal.
