| - I had a really good meal at the bar here on a recent trip to the Valley of the Sun. I've eaten at the Del Frisco's in Charlotte many times and was aware of the Grille concept the chain was rolling out but this was my first chance to frequent one of the Grille's.
This location is an easy walk, just down the street, from the Phoenix Ritz-Carlton. The main restaurant was packed but the bar was a perfect place for a lone dude on the prowl (JUST KIDDING HONEY!) so I took a seat. I was promptly greeted even though the bar was pretty crowded and within a minute had a drink and a menu in my hand.
I ordered the Wedge salad and just like at a regular Del Frisco's, it was drenched in that oh so damn good blue cheese dressing and had crumbled up pieces of their awesome bacon on top. For the main event I got the Prime Double Cheeseburger and I can truly say it was one of the better burgers I've ever eaten. Two juicy, flavorful patties, American cheese, some kind of delicious mayonnaise based sauce, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles. A great balance of savory, fatty, acid, soft, crunchy, etc, etc...
All in all, this visit left me longing for a version of the chain here in the QC. Del Frisco's quality food at a cheaper price point. That's a lot to like! And, if you do want a big ole prime steak, you can still go that direction. What a country!
