| - This a great little neighborhood sports bar. It's our go-to place for UFC events. The place is clean & comfortable, with a nice ambiance and we've always had good service (even on crazy fight nights when the placed is packed). We have found the prices to be a little high for a sports bar style menu, but when you consider they don't charge a cover fee for UFC events & sometimes have coupons, it's not too bad.
The food isn't 5 star amazing, but it's pretty solid for a joint like this. We've tried probably about half the stuff on the menu in the years we've been visiting Augie's. For the appetizers, the egg-roll-wrapped mozz sticks & pretzel sticks are the best of the bunch. Their wings are run-of-the-mill & sadly they don't offer variable heat levels on the buffalo style (it's a soft medium IMO). The burgers & sandwiches are mostly good, but not exceptional. The best things on the menu are the ribs & pizza. The ribs are baked/grilled style rather than smoked, but they're super tender with a sweet sauce & fall off the bone. The pizza is probably our favorite thing at Augie's. If fact, I'd even say I was kinda shocked at how good it was when we first tried it. The crust is a bit bready, but it really works with the sauce & cheese they use. It's definitely worth a try. Pro tip - order it "well done" to get a nice slightly charred edge. For dessert, the chocolate brownie sundae thing is surprisingly awesome. It's simple, but good & surely plentiful.
All in all, we're lucky to have a joint like this out in the far west valley. They have friendly service, show UFC fights for free, and the food is above-average for this kind of place.
