I've been waiting over a year for this place to open. We are lacking local dining options in South Tempe, so I was excited to eat here and to fall in love with a new local restaurant in my backyard.
We arrived around 7pm the night before the grand opening. The place was packed and there was a private event on the patio.
I didn't realize it is a order at the counter type of place but don't mind. The dinner entree selection is small, there are mostly pizza and sandwich options.
We decided to try the soft pretzel and cheese appetizer, my friend got the chicken platter with mashed potatoes and spinach and I wanted to try the pork chile verde pot pie and threw in a grilled cheese.
The pretzels were very thick almost like pretzel sandwich buns and had no salt. The cheese sauce was good although grainy. The chicken dinner was ok nothing to write home about. The pork chile verde pot pie was not good, the pork was very fatty and it was too spicy. The grilled cheese was not worth the price especially since there isn't even a side with it. The staff came by to check on how things were but even after letting them know the issues they didn't seem to care. We spent over $40 and didn't have any drinks. My excitement was short lived and unfortunately I don't really feel a need to go back. I'm sure this place will be busy for a while but with the Scottsdale prices and lacking food, will it last?
