    We were greeted as we walked in, with our reservation we were seated right away. Our waitress welcomed us and was friendly. After she took our order, it didn’t take long for our meal to be served. Our hamburgers we hot and juicy and our fries were delicious. Our waitress checked in with us during our meal, telling her everything was perfect. When we received our bill, she thanked us for coming and hoped to see us again. We will definitely come back.

    An excellent opportunity to enjoy our date night. We ate delicious zucchini fries with a superb wine. Following as loved the chopped wedge salad and Santa Fe burger, with just the right amount of heat. We finished our date with the Maple milk shake. Our favorite date night menu with our favorite person.

    We made reservations to celebrate a birthday, and I was so excited to bring my family for their first visit. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. We were a party of only four, yet half our food arrived 30–40+ minutes after the others were served and had already finished eating. We were repeatedly told it was “coming soon,” but nothing changed. I understand restaurants get busy, but management should have been made aware. Our waitress was busy but there were other services that could have possibly assisted. What should have been a special birthday celebration turned into a frustrating experience. We came to enjoy a meal together, not eat in shifts. Such a letdown! I truly hope they improve, as experiences like this can ruin a special occasion.

    Went for the Sonoran Restaurant Week, and was not disappointed. The service was attentive and quick, we got the double smash burger and the Diablo burger (a roasted hatch chile on top of a good size patty) and both were very good. Fries were fresh and just right. The shared chocolate pie was a bit too rich and sweet, but we soldiered on and finished it :-).

    Jamie Thank you for the feedback! Sonoran restaurant week is over but we are still here and Double Smash and Diablo burgers!! We can't wait to see you again very soon!
