“ This is a great to go and watch football 49ers, they have great food , good serves and servers. They have lots of T.Vs inside and outside. If you are San Francisco 49er fans, this is the place for you . ”
“ Had a great time the food was bomb and I went around lunch time so it wasnt too busy but Ive seen this place packed. I would definitely recommend stopping by and checking it out ”
“ Yummmm!! I honestly thought this place was just going to be decent bar food but I was completely impressed. It was delicious, the facility was clean, and they had great service. They also have a a beautiful patio overlooking Mill Ave. ”
“ Premier venue in downtown Tempe. The food is great, and the management is first class from the top down. Security is very respectful and fair, and the ladies that work there are very attractive and kind ”
“ Sometimes service just gives a place a full 5 stars, and this was that experience. Came here to grab a drink and some food. Ordered a beer and went to look at the menu. When my server came up he mentioned that it was Monday so a beer and burger is 10. I should mention, at this point I was not even thinking of ordering a burger, but with my beer already at 8, I couldnt pass that deal up. They could have easily made more money from me that night but chose to be nice and help me. Now, Ill be sure to come back again and again for how they treated me. Now! Onto the burger. I got the smash burger, just the normal one. And I have to tell you, that is a solid burger. Sometimes a simple burger with no frills or add ons just hit the spot, and this is that burger. two patties, lettuce, onion, tomato, special sauce which I should add was not overpowering was just perfect! ”
