Not sure why people rip this place. It is a cool little place with a good vibe. I am not sure I understand the whole Chicago in the desert, but it works. Antoinette, the bartender, was amazing, fast and attentive. It is obvious She is well received as a locals' favorite, so that is cool too. Great prices drinks and food for the Mesa area. We saw this place on the way to the Marriott.
The Texas burger was fantastic. Green chilies on toast as a bun is a cool touch. The chips and cheese were cool too. Simple. Chips, melted cheese, side of salsa. Exactly as stated. No extra crap, just what we ordered.
As we went to grab a late dinner at the Marriott and saw their prices for similar fare, it was an easy choice to walk across the street. Not to mention, we stood in the doorway of the Marriott restaurant for at leader minutes waiting to be seated and no one even addressed us. Easy choice to hit the sports bar instead. We will be back!
