Let me tell you about a sandwich. Mostly.
I was there yesterday afternoon to drop off a cruiser bike I sold to a new friend. She lives in the neighborhood and as it was an easy ride back to her place I met her there.
I NEVER liked the old location on Roosevelt, and the new location is slowly growing on me. My preference will never be chairs with wire backs(I'm a booth man, personally)but it is clean and funky at the same time.
Back to food: the Garlic Pepper Sirloin Steak sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I think I've ever eaten. Yes, lots of onions and garlic, not the date night meal, but wow...good bread, huge size...really good meat and sauce.
Why not 5 stars? Well, the good news is it's a full bar, and yes you can buy a PBR or Schlitz...but on Saturday afternoon no juices for mixing, and yesterday was very very hot. I think the wine and beer menu are varied, but it just seems the liquor menu is all top-shelf. I think Smirnoff vodka is just fine, same with Dewars scotch,etc. Take a tip from Carlys, Palette etc. and find a way to keep a varied price-point. Two drinks plus a sandwich was $22. plus and I tip 20%. I think I would have made this a five-star day if it had been a $16.00 to $17.00 meal and drinks.
By the way, the drink we finally created was a "John Daly", an alcoholic version of the lemonade/ice tea classic Arnold Palmer. Due to a lack of materials, it was improvised by with some sweetened tea and sweet tea/lemonade vodka. Tasty, but pricey for Grand Ave on a sweltering day in the PHX.
Yes, I'll be back, but I'll ask the drink prices first.
