Grabbed a quick lunch today. Smoked BBQ brisket sandwich was very good. Service was great as usual and beer was cold!

My original review may have been inaccurate. Here is my update: The service was spotty and i was handed a menu that i could not read unless i wore binoculars. Having a huge selection means they should have more than a couple of pages in tiny type. In the dim lights, and tiny type, there was no way to read selections, and servers were not much help. That made for the bad experience.

We ate here while in town for a wedding and just like a previous visit a couple years ago the food and drinks were amazing! Definitely our go-to spot for dinner when we're in the area.

This past Saturday evening was an overall 'awful ' experience! From wait staff to hostess, to seating location; .when decent areas were open!? , terrible food!!! Soggy asparagus, soggy, flat sweet potato for $6.99!!! $85.00 BILL... $18.00 for a glass of wine!!! Just awful!!! We 'll never go back!!!

Nestled in a lively atmosphere, this restaurant has charmed many with its diverse menu and attentive service, though experiences can vary. While some diners rave about the impressive beef dishes and lively live music, others lament issues like poor menu readability and inconsistent food quality. Highlights include their renowned nachos and unique offerings like squirrel dishes, paired with a solid beer selection. The outdoor patio is a favorite, creating a welcoming space year-round. Despite occasional service hiccups and complaints about smoking proximity, many patrons leave satisfied, eager to return for another delightful experience filled with homey warmth and friendliness.

Food was delicious as always. Service was a bit slow after we had our food. Would have liked a beverage refill. Air cooler was so loud we couldn't hear each other. Parking is dirt/small gravel. Hard to negotiate with a cane or walker.

Looking for a place to have lunch with my son and my neighbors introduce us to Handlebar Pub. Food is lovely, if you like dark beer this is the place. Service is excellent and my waitress so friendly.

The ribs at this restaurant are absolutely delectable! I tried them myself and they were fantastic. You have to enjoy kale though. Keisha, the bartender, was fantastic and the best!

The Steer is consistently a wonderful dining destination. It can get quite busy, but the food is always excellent. The selection of beef dishes never fails to impress, and the live music is usually fantastic as well. Whether we're visiting as a family or on a romantic date night, we always enjoy our time there. The atmosphere is welcoming year-round, with plenty of outdoor seating and heating available in the winter months. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the city or looking for a great place to eat.

My friends and I have been going to this restaurant for about 4 years now. The food is consistently amazing every day of the week. The entertainment, especially Chris Hiatt, is always great. I hope Chris will have Randy playing with him again, as they always put on a fantastic show. I recommend this place for all ages, even dogs.

Margaret was our worshiper and she was on time, fun and friendly! I need to talk to the owner, theny and he was a super nice man. sent for my 5 years jubilee with my wife and we both went very satisfied away! very clean, eating was super tasty and drinks were strong!

Just happened to find this place doing a google search for a place with a good beer selection. Very enjoyable spot. The staff was super friendly, the beer selection was indeed great and the abundance of regulars at the bar indicates this is clearly a local favorite. Definitely will be back if I find myself in the East Valley again.

The food was excellent, the decor was lovely, and the staff were all very friendly, from the hosts to the waitstaff to the people who cleaned our table. I especially liked the steak and the sides (brussels sprouts and acorn squash). I highly recommend trying the Marion mead from Superstition Meadery!

The ribs at this restaurant are absolutely delicious! I also enjoyed the kale slaw, which was also very tasty, although you have to be a fan of kale. Keisha, the bartender, was fantastic and provided excellent service during my visit.

Nice relaxing friendly spot. We went to see a friend of ours a singer Simply Renee. Only thing is they only sell wine and beer no hard alcohol.

Very fun night. First time customer, visiting from Northern IL. Great assortment of taps beers. Live band was also really good. All tables outside had a heat source as it was a cool evening. Rained on Saturday so patio was closed or I would havebeen back. The group I was with were also first time local customers, they all ordered food and all had good comments as well. Last special thanks to Lisa for the outstanding bar tender service. She helped pick out a couple pours, friendly and made mefeel welcome.

My fav spot ! They recognize you and go out of their way to be helpful. I hosted a party entry and they did everything to ensure all my guests were happy.

Food was cold and plain. I felt like it was a big waste of money. Really a bummer because it is close to home.

A real hidden gem! Ended up in east Mesa unexpected, asked for a local family owned restaurant nearby and was immediately directed here. Dining in a pub alone isn't something I would normally do, but I was starving! I was seated at the bar, another thing I rarely do, and was surprised by the varied menu and asked the bartender for her suggestion. The Mahi Mahi fish tacos were amazing and so large! Two were more than enough. The sides are varied and again, portions more than ample. Another surprising find . . . Menu is mostly gluten free and some nice vegetarian options. Service was friendly and made everyone feel at home. Patio looks amazing and they do cool it with evaporated coolers. Seemed nice and definitely something I will experience when it's cooler! Such a friendly place! Met a few other single diners who we're enjoying their meals as much as I did mine. Even though an hour away, I am all ready making plans to go back with friends!

We recently relocated to this area and we are thrilled with this restaurant! The Uber rides are only $7, the atmosphere is lively, the service is excellent, and they have a fantastic beer selection. The outdoor patio is stunning. We like to visit at night, even in the summer when it's not too hot. The live bands are a definite highlight.

I recently returned to a vegetarian diet for health and personal reasons, and I was thrilled to see that one of my favorite restaurants offers a tofu dish! I'm happy to say that it is probably the best tofu dish I've had in the area. I would love it if they also offered an Impossible Burger as an alternative to their regular burger, as I really enjoy their bruschetta burger!

Okay, so we went to this restaurant for Rib night, but ended up ordering from their regular menu because everything looked so tempting! Their unique and fresh dishes, like squirrel with maple and pecan or zucchini with roasted peppers and onions, were all delicious and reasonably priced. We tried a variety of beers, both in pints and in a flight, and they were all great. Even though they were out of a few beers we wanted for our second flight, the waitress recommended some of her favorites and they were excellent. Just a heads up, they only serve beer and wine, so if you're looking for cocktails, you'll have to go elsewhere. The atmosphere was fantastic, the staff were fantastic, and the food was amazing. Definitely a great spot for a night out - we'll be back next time we're in town!

I had to adjust my previous negative rating and give this amazing restaurant more stars. The first time I visited was on a blind date, selected because it was a convenient midpoint and chosen at random. It turned out to be a delightful surprise. The reviews I had read described it as the best-kept secret in Apache Junction, and I couldn't agree more. That was two years ago. I have been back several times since and would come every week if it were closer to my home. The food is top-notch, the service is always excellent, and the beer selection is impressive - 27 different types on tap tonight. And did I mention they also have live music? Fantastic. I can only say one thing: It's definitely worth it!

Here's INCREDIBLE! I had heard from the Handlebar Pub of one of my co-workers and she was on site. First, the outside of the device is very deceitful. Do not leave this you from the amazing food and ambience that this place has to offer. When you walk in the front door, you will be welcomed by friendly staff and patrons. It is a modern, well decorated bar, but this is just the beginning. The WAREN is out! The full pepper appetizer (with smoked pork, Monterey Jack cheese and a Chipotle sauce) has so much taste. We ordered a second after eating the first (split between 3 people). For dinner, my husband ordered a steak that was seldom cooked to perfection medium and my friend and I both burgers. They were unbelievable as the pages of the Bleu potato salad and walnut-ball cheese Coleslaw. The craft beers were refreshing and Dustin our bartender was ready to try everything we wanted to try the apricot yeast wheat YUM. We will definitely be back, we must try the smoked chicken wings on Tuesday nights. They won't be disappointed.

This bar and grill is truly amazing! They offer a wide variety of organic and high-quality food, an excellent selection of beers, a lively atmosphere, and friendly staff. It's a hidden gem and one of the best spots in the Osttal region!

Awesome service and the beer menu was great. A+ in my book. Try it you will enjoy it.
