| - This was one of the most disappointing places I have tried in Phoenix.
After having been recommended, I tried several times to find the place (no signage on the road to identify) I called and got directions. Too bad the person who answered the phone cannot count, so the directions put me a few blocks away.
It looks like if you want a beer, you were in the right place. The wine was listed only by the bottle, the waitress informed me there was a board that listed the by the glass choices but she didn't know where it was. I asked what reds they had, she told me they had "Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio..." I had to ask her 3 times to find out what red wines they had.
The menu was uninspiring to say the least - I read one review that praised the grilled cheese - if that's all you can praise in a restaurant, that's pretty sad.
I opted for what was basically a hot dog - the description sounded okay, and this place was sufficiently funky-looking that I thought they might be creative enough to do something amusing with it.
When it was served it was in fact a hot dog, as long as "hot" was not integral to the concept. It was loaded with cold onions, cold ketchup, cold mustard, in a gloppy mixture that was way too messy to eat without scrapping most of the Walmart quality condiments off. Unfortunately, I was informed when I could finally get the waitress's attention that utensils were only supplied upon request.
I understand the 'water on request' in a desert (neither offered nor given) but 'utensils on request'? What's up with that?
At any rate, a cold hot dog is basically bologna with a smaller diameter, and so I was serve bologna on a roll with glop. Not exactly worth finding the place.
On the whole, the 4-5 people sitting at the bar drinking beer and watching a football game looked like they were having a decent time. If that's your choice, the beer list looked pretty good. Just go somewhere else to eat first.
