Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers
Old Town Scottsdale
4222 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers was definitely a suitable restaurant for a Tuesday night. They have a special menu from which you can build your own burger, exactly the way you want it, which I thought was pretty neat. I didn't actually build my own burger though, because their list of burgers on the menu was huge, and each description I read just made me salivate. I choose the 'Open Pit' burger, and was extremely pleased when the food was served. The burger was so big I had to rotate it a few times to decide how to take the first bite. It was topped with onion rings, bacon, and BBQ sauce, just the way I like it. Everything was cooked just right. Although, I would have appreciated a few more onion rings in the burger, the few I received were fairly small. After the main course, my brother ordered the S'mores dessert, which was pretty neat how they served us a small pot with flaming coals inside so we could each roast our own marshmallows. Along with the meal, I ordered a couple cold beers from their domestic menu and it was served in a fat glass mug. The mugs were pretty unique, almost like a huge coffee mug made out of glass.
Unfortunately, when you dine in Old Town Scottsdale right along Scottsdale Road, you are going to pay for it. The burger plates were fairly pricey, and our tab came to around $100 (that's with only 2 beers) for 5 people. Of course, we did order an appetizer and dessert, but a $13 burger is not something I am willing to pay for very often. However, you have to understand, you are paying for the ambience and atmosphere. You're right along Scottsdale Road, in a great location, and the bar had a pretty cool layout, as one side was inside the restaurant, and the other side was on the patio. On the other hand, I was not too fond of the bathroom layout. The bathroom was extremely tight, and I almost had no shoulder room between myself and the guy standing next to me. But ultimately, the restaurant was nice, the booths were spacious and gave my family of 5 plenty of room to get comfortable around the table.
The service at the restaurant was overall pretty good. The waitresses were all extremely attractive (as one would expect at an establishment like this), and our server was very nice and prompt, I think her name was Kylie, or something similar. We did not have to wait to be seated (we beat the night crowd) and the food did not take very long to come out. Overall, I'll give the place 4 stars. Food was great, service was good, and servers were great to look at. If you don't mind paying for a $13 burger, this is definitely one place to check out. [501 words]
