Guess I'm just not loving the AZ options like I used to.
I actually came on yelp and searched happy hours in scottsdale to try to find a good deal. Since the Lodge had great reviews, my friends and I decided to check it out.
I enjoyed being able to sit outside and enjoy the gorgeous weather. The wait staff was nice. The happy hour specials were abundant.
and that is kinda where it ended for me. We ordered a variety of appetizers for the table. While my friends enjoyed them, I was left feeling like someone took a pile of cheese con queso from the jar and dumped it onto everything. particularly strange were the potato skins. they were just plain slices of potato and on the side was this bizarre spread that consisted of that cheese wiz type of garbage combined with sour cream, bacon, and some other unidentifiable substance. You were supposed to either spread this on your potato skins or dip them in. Not exactly how I envisioned potato skins.
i kinda left with my stomach churning a bit again (as I did after my terrible experience at lush burger).
I think I am gonna just have to stick with the places I know when it comes to dining in AZ. My adventures at being adventurous have lead to stomachaches :(
However, this is a nice place to come and hang out outside with your friends, have a couple drinks and chat.
