2.5 for the experience, .5 for the free wi-fi.
The owners of Ernie's in Scottsdale have opened up a second location. I went online to check out the reviews for the other place, and strangely there were none.
We were here on a Saturday afternoon. The place was pretty slow, maybe only one or two other tables. The service was there, but nothing great. Happy hour on a Saturday afternoon is usually a good thing, but I wasn't really impressed by this one. $1 off everything except wine and a few appetizers at a special price. Five-ish beers on tap.
As for the food, the Maryland style wings were good (Maryland style = wings with Old Bay Seasoning). We also ordered the Crab Cake Sampler, but I'm not sure where the "sampler" part came in. There were three golf ball size crab cakes and it came with cocktail and tartar sauce. The crab cakes were great, pretty much all crab meat, no filler. However, for $13.95, they better be! The other fried appetizers looked good. The Chicken Sandwich and fries didn't look exciting.
Let's just say I'm not in a huge hurry to get back to Ernie's. Then again, I don't think this location has been open very long. Maybe I'll give them some time to settle in and then try again.
