| - I think this is my first one star review, but I'm afraid I have to. I considered a two star review, just because I understand restaurants that are named after sports celebrities are usually selling a name and not quality, but Majerle's worked hard to earn one star, start to finish.
We arrived to dirty tables. Not only ours, but we were surprised to see other parties being seated at dirty tables. This was during the first round of March Madness, and they really had a tough time figuring out what channels to find the multiple games. Very slow service, which I rarely complain about. Started with the wings, which were pretty bad. I've had much better from the frozen food aisle. Keeping the tables clear and waters full was a challenge, but we were reassured by the server that she had asked the busser to do it, but the busser had not done it.
Entrees were OK, but far from great. We joked that when the server asked if how I wanted my steak sandwich cooked, she technically did not say that they would cook it that way, because my medium rare looked a lot like medium well.
The most grievous sin happened later in the evening. Lots of TVs were showing various sporting events, but the main TV (with sound) was set to a channel of a completed game, and they had moved on to the local news. A crowded sports bar on a Saturday night, and for well over a half hour, the background noise and primary TV were set on local Arizona news. Weather report, local crime report, local news puff piece. Makes for a fun, sports bar atmosphere, no? I'm not sure how such a thing goes on in a sports bar, especially during March Madness.
The evening was topped off with a pretty horrible cookie/ice cream dessert. I don't think it was really ice cream, but ice milk. The cookie tasted more like a cookie cake. Pretty bad.
I guess this is more of a tourist trap and not a place that someone would visit on purpose more than once. I guess I got trapped.
