First time at this location of Boondocks. It was for their Halloween Spooktacular. It's a smaller venue with parking behind the building, which fills up quickly so arrive early if you want to park there or find adjacent parking. Inside it's a smaller cozy bar. It was nice having a live DJ Roy there. I like that there are booths as well as seating around the bar and also tables. The wait staff was friendly and courteous and they regularly stopped by our table and it was nice to not have to hunt up staff to get our bill like other bars. I would recommend this bar if you're looking for a more cozy friendly bar to go. It has just the right mix of dive, sport and live DJ! Try to attend one of their party events! read more

Friendly staff, excellent food and a great variety of beverages. Just had the special - corn beef sliders with mashed (real, not fake) potatoes and gravy. These need to be added to the menu! We have been coming here for awhile and have yet to have a bad time. read more

Took my brother here for his birthday. Place was packed. PACKED! Music was decent. Bartenders were nice and made good drinks. Drinks were EXPENSIVE. I must be getting old but I would have preferred something more low-key instead of being in the wild mix. Not holding it against the establishment - just don't go here on a Saturday if you want a quiet place to catch up with the homies. read more

Food was awesome! our Server was amazing. She always made sure to check on us evens if she was busy. She provided outstanding customer service! The inside is very busy but fun and exciting during NFL playoffs! We would def come back again! Thank you staff!! read more

I will be back. Stopped in for Happy Hour with my sister. We sat at the bar and Tyler the bartender was super amazing in welcoming us, going over the menu, and serving us. The Aperol Spritz I ordered was so refreshing. I wanted to get another one but I didn't have time. We ordered the loaded fries which were ok. It was a nice portion size like Tyler mentioned but the nacho cheese didn't have much cheese flavor. The Carne Asada was tender and tasted like it was cooked over an open flame. It was very tastey. The fries were piping hot and not sitting under a warming light like some places. This was a short dining experience because I had to catch a movie and didn't want to be late. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

We came, we hung out, we ate, it was cool. Happy Hour is cool and they have a good selection of beers on Tap. TV's all around, but couldn't really connect as the sound and TV I was watching wasn't in sync. Parking can be a bit of a challenge in the rear, but I got lucky. Duck Fat Fries were the star of the night. The margarita's I had were "average". read more

Was running errands on a Wednesday night and my boyfriend said he wants to go to Trivia so we found the closest one and walked in. Couple tables of "townies" playing a game. Fun vibes overall. We expected a live person presenting like most trivia's but this was all on a TV screen so if you want live trivia, this is not the place for you. Now the food was just mid bar food, so were the drinks (but very affordable). The service was a bit slow but the server apologized and told us that he was alone running the floor so we understood. read more

Recently had a friend DJ a 70's and 80's party and Boondocks and we thought we would make the trek down to see him. We enjoyed seeing some friends we hadn't seen for a long time. We ended up sitting at the bar and were immediately served. They had a good selection of beers on tap. We were hungry and were surprised at the extensive menu they offered so it took a little while to select. Ended up choosing a burger with tator tots which did not disappoint. Also ordered brussel sprouts which if you read any of my reviews I order plain fried brussel sprouts any chance I get. The food was scrumptious and the service was great. All staff was very friendly. They seemed to have plenty of parking behind the grill. We opted for Lyft. Will definitely be back! read more

Over the last few years, I've been here a handful of times. I love their cheese curds and they do have some great selections for food and drinks. The atmosphere is laid back and fairly spacious. Even when busier, the staff has been very friendly and works hard to get your order to you asap. Thank you for showing the away games for Phoenix Rising Football Club! read more

Walked into Boondocks ready to make the toughest decision of my day: steak or chicken. Thankfully, I had Ashley (spelled the right way -- A-S-H-L-E-Y) to guide me. She said, "Get the chicken." I trusted her... and I think I saw a flash of light and heard angels sing when I took that first bite. Ashley isn't just a bomb bartender -- she's a food whisperer. She deserves a raise, a crown, and maybe her own menu item. read more

Food is actually atrocious, chips and salsa might be the worst I've ever had lol, place is only good for drinks.

Bartender did not want to be there. Seemed very unfriendly. Bad vibe, so we left after 1 drink read more

Stopped by here after a Cubs game at Sloan and wanted to try something local. Overall a cool atmosphere, they have a partially covered patio connected to the interior. A few pool tables and a few arcade games. Happy Hour is fairly reasonable but the drinks shot up afterwards. Service was cool. We'd come back next time we're in the area. read more

No frills. It's just a bar. Not much like the Scottsdale location. Ok, now with that out of the way.. Boondocks Tempe is a great place to go for a drink and a bite to eat. I go often after work with coworkers. Darts, pool, goldent tee, and a nice patio. The bartenders have always been great and friendly and I have seen quite a few come and go over the past 4 years, so they're hiring right! I come and get my car washed next door and always stop in to say hi to everyone. It's definitely a friendly spot to stop! read more

First time checking out this Boondocks location, I usually go to the Scottsdale location. The Tempe location has a lot more laid back/chill kind of vibe, which I'm not mad at. The service was great, I'm so sorry I forgot the bartenders name that waited on us, but LOVED his energy. I ordered the loaded fries, I personally didn't really care for them to much, they were just ok to me. I will be back to try some other food and drink items off the menu. I recommend checking this location out read more

Fun outside atmosphere, great for watching sports. We got the tacos, the fried pickles are great and mimosa buckets all day long! Service was a little slow read more

4 pm on Friday, not busy yet. Friendly server gave us lots of time to decide. We ordered happy hour appetizers. College boy had mac and cheese, and I ordered the fried brussel sprouts. The sprouts were a bit underdone but had a great flavor. Sweet from the balsamic, but salty from the goat cheese and the capers. I ate a lot of the outside leaves and brought them home to cook them for 10 more minutes more as leftovers the next day. The mac and cheese was not overly thick and rich, but creamy and well prepared. He also had a bacon BBQ burger. It came in a puddle of sauce, so he finally removed his hoodie to eat it! I have never seen more bacon on a burger, there must have been six pieces hanging off the sides of the bun. Burger and fries were devoured, pronounced pretty darn good for a dive bar. I am sorry I didn't take any pictures . Neither one of us was drinking but our adorable server kept up with Coca-Cola consumption quite well. If this casual joint with a pool table and a great patio were located in my neighborhood, I would be hanging out here all the time. Nice job! read more

Really cool space with both indoor/outdoor patio seating. We came to watch a game and the outdoor patio was perfect on the warm day to enjoy the sun with the covered patio and fans to cool you down. Service was really quick and the wings and curds were solid bar food options to pair with the crisp beers. They were also attentive and always made sure to check in on us outside. I also enjoyed the darts and other games they have inside for you to play during the breaks. It wasn't busy at all so we could leave our table and go back and forth. read more

Looked for a quick bite. The service was good. The food was average. Place was not kept up with.

Look, this is the second week in a row I've come here and had great food. But good lord... do I HAVE to flag someone down and literally ASK for my check? Both times. I'm drinking water and my food has been eaten and my tray has been taken and I have to wait TEN MINUTES before I awkwardly ask for my check. It's not like I would be waiting for a refill on water or something or waiting to see until I finish a beer if I want another. I feel like this comes most standard at restaurants, especially bars, where your receipt is put in a glass if you sit at the bar. Or heck, receipt even given to you without asking. Food is great, but if I come again and the same thing happens I will sadly probably miss out on good food because of that service. Again, no complaints of food. But both times there were 6 or less people also. That and the first time i had to ask for a refill of water after no one checked on my glass. As well as having to ask for a fork both times. This is prob poorly written because I'm trying to type fast but sheesh. read more

I'd give 0 stars if I could. I was dancing, eyes closed, and some dude cheap-shot swung on me. When I came to, there was a mini brawl going on. I was attacked. I got "banned". Fuck this place. I was assaulted and I got in trouble? Literally wtf, I was here with my boys from outta town and this place sided with the dude who attacked me. I'll never go here again, fuck this place and every managerial staff member included. Bunch of cowards. I was the one who was assaulted. I had my eyes closed, I was dancing, minding my own business. I can't tell you who hit me or why, because I literally had my eyes closed and was vibing to the music. Next thing I know, some dude is swingings on me, his friends jump in and try to jump me -- and I'm the one who got banned. I amiably talked to security and tried my absolutely hardest (while being shooken up from being literally jumped) and they wouldn't even listen to me. Fuck you to every single worker there. My lawyer will have a field day with this. 0/10 do not trust this place with your safety or wellbeing. They don't care about you or your safety, only their own liability. I cannot emphasize how poorly the entire staff handled this situation. I tried to explain to them that I literally had my eyes closed and can't even tell them who hit me, and they didn't care. Because I'm 6'9", it must have been my fault. Fucking cowards. I hope this place gets shut down. Fuck you. read more

Taryn provided amazing service!! She was quick and super personable. Will be back fs!

Maybe the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Service was great and so were the prices. Overall a really nice place.

Excellent steak! Server was fun. Definitely Irish, would love to come back on St Patricks day! Ambience was typical sports bar but it was dog friendly on a large patio. Beer was perfect and we love 805 and they stocked it! Yea! read more

Average bar Average crowd There are quite a few TVs, just not enough TVs to call it sports bar, too new and clean to be a drive bar. It has a couple darts boards, a couple pool tables, and a pop-a-shot game. But, not enough to call it a game bar. However, it has a mixed age group of bar patrons and friendly staff. So, of you happen to be nearby and looking for a place to get a drink with friends, this place will meet the requirements. read more

Fun place to be on a Saturday night! There was great music playing the entire time and then around 9 they had a live country band and that was great! The ambiance was good, people were playing pool and a few other games they had there. They service was amazing our guy kept coming to our table to see how we were doing. The lost star was on the food, it just wasn't it, fries were SUPER garlicky, tacos a little on the salty side, mini corn dogs were good to snack on and after we asked for extra sauce the wings were good (I would recommend those) . Overall maybe just a good place to hang out with a group of friends for drinks. read more

Ok this is the kind of Bar you want to find in your neighborhood: good food, great customer service, and drinks. Fun good music nice atmosphere. My husband brought me all the way from my fave bar in tempe to this place, I have to admit, I had a great time. Lo and Brittany,our bartenders,make sure my husband and I were taken care of. I had a Mexican mule for the first time and it was good (not too sweet the way I like it) the CAB sandwich also good. We will come back again . You should try, I doubt it you will be disappointed. I'm just waiting for the band to play. I will tell you later. read more

Food was.....not tasty at all. Ambiance, online said country..... Not. Service was very good. My bartender was attentive and polite.

Pricier than I usually want to spend, but since I also ordered a docktail, that didn't help the price tag! Visited Boondocks a few weeks ago on an early Saturday evening. Parking was larger (but not very large) and better paving than I expected. The patio was a nice size, w/ heating lamps. Unfortunately I was facing the sunset & was blinded for a few minutes before it went down; I don't recall them having outdoor shades that could have been pulled down. The service was prompt & courteous. The only item that irked me was the main door was propped wide open by a sign and its openness blocked the other patio door's exit ... which seemed unsafe to me. Wonder what the fire department would have said about that ... LOL. One of my friends ordered the peanut butter burger, which almost made me gag just thinking about it but I must admit, it was a good burger! All in all, a pleasurable place to dine and drink. read more

Went to this new Boondocks location to watch the college football championship. My friend and I ordered the chicken tenders as well as the fried cauliflower and fried cheese curd appetizers. For being such a basic order, I was surprised how much I enjoyed the chicken tenders. Not too heavily breaded and the chicken was well cooked. I also liked the fried cauliflower. I appreciated that the kitchen doesn't fall into the typical sports bar trap of adding excessive oil. Being so close to ASU, it's very much a college bar with lots of students and loud music when a game isn't happening. read more

So I have a new addiction, and it is Boondocks. Came in for the first time to this new Tempe location and it met my expectations and more. The Mac and Cheese is absolutely TO DIE FOR, and the garlic fries with buffalo ranch is my new favorite "bar food." Boondocks has a TON of delicious cocktails, my personal favorite being the CoCucumber! They also serve High Noon seltzers which are one of my favorites as well! We happened to go in a group on a Wednesday and were surprised with the Trivia Night being held. It was a blast. Our server, Georgia, was extremely knowledgeable with recommendations and one of the best servers I've ever had- anywhere! I cant wait to go back soon! That Mac & Cheese is calling my name! read more

I cannot say enough about the Boondocks staff and their helpfulness in creating a spectacular event for my High School reunion this past weekend! Kelly and Tyler made everything so seamless from start to finish, which relieved a lot of my stress in planning from out of state. The event itself was absolutely perfect - from the allocated area to the food (delicious), and the staff working during that time. Everyone was beyond kind and most importantly helpful in making sure our guests had everything they needed! I highly recommend hosting your next event with Boondocks and will definitely be back again soon! read more

This is the perfect spot for game watching; there are TVs everywhere you look. There are over 10 just on the patio alone! They also have Golden tee, a basketball shooting game, pool, and a stage for music. Their happy hour is from 3-6pm with Mac n cheese, Brussels sprouts, chips and guacamole, and other light bites. The patio is completely covered and shaded on the sides as well and has fans with misters under them. You can hear the traffic but the music drowns out most of it. We love the Sin burger topped with pickled cabbage, jalapeño cheese, and avocado. It comes on a perfectly soft and squishy bun. The Happy hour Mac with pulled pork was creamy and cheesy. The pork was crispy in some spots so it provided good contrast of texture. Overall, you can get a great meal, enjoy a beverage and take in a variety of games all at once. A great neighborhood spot! read more
