| - As full time residents of Fountain Hills who are all too familiar with the array of mediocre, overpriced and unsatisfying dining choices in town, we were excited about the prospect of a new restaurant coming to town.
We were a little disappointed to see another diner concept as Phil's is only a few blocks away and already has the market cornered on unnecessarily extensive menu of sub-par "diner dishes", however as soon as we read that Georgie's had Saganaki on the menu - we made a trip there right away.
The ambiance inside of Georgie's was very confusing as it still has the decor and wall murals from the previous establishment, an ill-fated Southwest themed Steakhouse so it definitely doesn't feel like a diner. We opted to sit at the bar where the Bartender immediately greeted us, took our drink orders and handed us menu's. We were happy to see that they had Lagunitis IPA on draft and ordered a couple of pints while perusing the menu. The menu is just as disjointed as the decor - it's hard to tell if it's a breakfast joint or if they specialize in American, Italian or Greek. We decided on Saganaki to start, followed by the Greek Salad and entree portion of Spanakopita served with rice and vegetables and a cup of Chicken Lemon Rice Soup.
The food all came out very quickly...almost too quickly...
The Saganaki and Greek Salad were both enjoyable, however it's not too difficult to master a skillet of flaming cheese or a salad. The entree of spanakopita was another story - you could tell it had come straight out of the microwave as it was heated unevenly and the normally flaky phyllo dough crust was soggy and chewy. The rice was bland and the vegetables were obviously frozen, flavorless and colorless. The cup of Chicken Lemon Rice Soup was passable but not enough to make up for the rest of the order.
While the food was not great, it was also not to the point where I felt the need to complain to the staff/management as we did eat most of our meal and it was after 8pm in Fountain Hills so our options were already pretty slim and we really do like to try to support local businesses. I would not, however recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a satisfying meal - If I'm craving a Greek Salad or Dolmades, I'll continue to go to Fountain Hills Express Deli or Munich Gyro where I can count on receiving a well prepared and reasonably priced meal.
