| - There are many places that I've gone to that deserve a half star, as the next level is questionable - RBB deserves 4.5 stars in my opinion.
My fiance and I decided to go to Relish on a Sunday, which happened to be Father's Day. We heard good things, especially being at the Phoenician, so we thought to see how the burger would deliver. After getting to RBB, I quickly spotted the pulled pork sliders (an appetizer), and coming from NC, I am a sucker for trying pulled pork at nearly any place. Knowing it was a burger spot, It was a toss-up between the sliders or the Cowboy. My fiance decided on the Cowboy, and so I knew I could have the best of both worlds. My only issue was that I also wanted to try their tater tots as neighboring tables already had their meals and they looked delicious. So the obvious choice was to get the sliders and the tots, but our server informed us of their special that day, which happened to be the pulled pork sandwich WITH tots. I knew I had made a good decision when their special was an entire sandwich of what I originally wanted.
I was super satisfied with my decision. The pulled pork had an interesting BBQ sauce coupled with jalapeno slaw, much different than your average pulled pork sandwich, but scrumptious nonetheless. The tots were insanely good, served in the cutest little fryer basket. The tots are more than your sonic-style, semi-soggy tots; they're fresh and crispy, and about as upscale as you can make a tot. My fiance's burger was to die for. When we go back, I'll definitely opt for a burger as they've got something going on in a good way. It must be the quality of meat or the bun or something, but I was slightly regretsy that I didn't go for the Cowboy.
Whatever you get, be sure to include tots and their signature tea (I think it was prickly pear or something). I'm looking forward to trying their homemade root beer and their BBQ chicken nachos in round 2.
As a bonus, we saw a PHX Suns player with his family. Neither of us were star struck, but it made for a fun meal knowing that we were dining at spot on Father's day with an NBA player. That's when you know you've made a decent decision for your Sunday lunch.
