“ Came across this amazing place while strolling around Old Town Scottsdale! Small appt down a side road near the historic mission and it was by far some of the best food we have eaten while visiting the area! The staff was inviting and funny, treating everyone as if they were regulars. My husband tried one of their specials, chicken and biscuits and I had the pastrami sandwich (recommended by Sam). The atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing lunch! Would 100% eat here again when we are in town next. ”
“ This place is great. It's a little hole in the wall with just 9 tables. Great food, great service, and decent beer selection. They have a prime dip sandwich that is good with quality roast beef. That is so rare to find. Highly recommend. ”
“ When you find a gem like this place there is an internal struggle - shout it from the mountain tops, or keep it to yourself? Here I am shouting from the mountain tops- this place is too great. Service is great. Ambiance is great. Food was amazing. What else do you need? Can't wait to go back- a lot. ”
