I'm currently writing this review sitting at a table here at the good ole Cogburn's... haven't seen our waitress in over twenty minutes (she's literally the only server here on a Sunday afternoon at lunch time?) I had to actually send my sister home with my kids because if you've ever had horrible service out and have small kids you know that every minute is precious and 40 minutes sitting in a high chair waiting for food is a recipe for a meltdown. When our order did finally come two items were simply wrong and not what we ordered but at that point she only gave us the option to wait an unknown amount of time for the right order... so a southwestern burger will have to do instead. I would have rated this place a zero but that wasn't even an option. I sent my card and a full priced bill (even for the items we didn't ask for and were incorrect) back to be settled with her twenty minutes ago so who knows what's going on now... just looking forward to the moment I can walk out of this place and never return. read more

Friendly staff. Seemingly good deals on the daily specials, but not so fast. Monday was 1/2 pound burger and fries, but the burger did not look like a 1/2 pound, maybe somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 pound, but no way were they 1/2 lb ! Toasted buns, which were nice, but not very impressive looking considering it's touted as a $12 burger (normal cheeseburger price if it wasn't a Monday.) fries were fantastic, nice generous amount of fries, not too beefy, not too scrawny, just right amount of soft middle with crunchy edges (my kind of perfect.) Aside from the unimpressive looks and the less-than-half pounder, I would have given them a 4+ rating, but my friend and I both had gas afterwards and worse, even an upset stomach, so I wonder how fresh the fare is. The place was near empty and we wrote it off to it being a Monday night with no big-deal game to draw out a bigger crowd, but after the upset stomach, maybe they just don't get enough burger business. The specials for the rest of the week looked interesting, but just not sure we'll venture back any time soon. Will see how adventurous we feel about risking another stomach upset. We like the place. the location and the staff, just hope they get enough business to keep the fare fresher. read more

If you haven't been here you have to go the wings are great, our server Tiana was busy but still made us feel important.

Terrible service, we ordered wings with blue cheese they brought the wings but it took 30 minutes for the dressing. When it finally came the wings were cold, we asked for new wings and it took another 25 minutes. Worst service ever. read more

Cogburns - Sports Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Pros: The interior is very well designed, the atmosphere is fun, the food is good, and the staff is friendly. Cons: The service is very slow I go in often on my lunch break and more than once I've waited over 30 minutes for my order to come out. This is in the middle of the afternoon when the place is practically empty and the food still takes forever and a day to arrive. When they are busy, ordering or having a drink refilled can take over 20 minutes; and we all know that nothing kills a good time faster then waiting an eternity for another drink. The last time I went in here (on a Thursday night) I told the waitress I needed a minute to look over the menu; she left me and never came back. I spent over an hour sipping a beer with a menu in front of me and never even had an opportunity to place my order. In fact, I didn't see my original server again all night as another waitress brought me my check. I see a lot of potential in this place, they are friendly, fun, and IMHO a great place to hang out but they need to get on point with their service or I'm going to find another place to spend my time. read more

The wing special on Sundays are great! Can't wait for Sunday football to come back around. Great bartenders!

Had a work dinner here and the food was great! Met the owner and kitchen manager and they were both nice and personable.

Everytime I have gone there I have always had bad service, bad food, and the manager is nowhere to be seen. Today I was turned away just asking for a table. I knew it was busy because of the fight but was willing to wait for a tablet open up but instead of a wait time was told they had nothing for me and I could stand in the bar. I resently had back surgery and really cant stand anywhere needless to say when ever I want to have a good time it won't be there. read more

Great food, cold beer and a nice ambiance. Could use more advertising or a bigger sign, it's a bit hard to notice. I loved the chili nachos and the burger was amazing. read more

Not great, but not awful! Had the raspberry wings which was good. My husband had the hamburger which was over cooked. My daughter had the pizza which was a little plain. Not busy for poor service :( read more

Not impressed at all. Service is awful, beers are warm, the air conditioning doesn't seem to work well because it's hot as crap in here! Not to mention, our nachos came out cold with brown guacamole. Nasty! I Won't be back. read more

I would never come back to this establishment again. The food is nothing to complain about but the customer service is horrible. They were very rude, and very impatient. Almost felt as if I was inconveniencing them stepping into their location. Pass this place up!! read more

This place is easily the best place for wings and sports in the area! TVs all over the place are huge for anyone playing fantasy football. I sat here all day on a Saturday for college football and it was such a great place to watch games I came back the following Sunday for pro games. Wait staff is great and very helpful even if something goes a little wrong. Quick to fix anything. UFC fight was free too! Where else you find that in the East Valley these days? They treat me great everytime, definitely recommend Cogburns. read more

Took 20 minutes to receive raw hamburgers. place was not busy at all. My wife and daughter sent them back to be cooked. The same burgers came back still very raw. I like rare burgers but all the burgers were raw and slightly browned on the outside. Everyone in our party felt ill. I would hate to see what they would do if they were busy. read more

I have tried this place a few times. The prices are high and the personality is low. Couldn't rate the food, never offered a menu and the server/bartender never spoke again to ask for one until I flagged them down to pay my bill. Lots of better choices out there for me to come back. read more

Myself and some of my co workers went to Cogburns after work to have wings and beer. I work close by and have been to Cogburns on several occasions since it opened with out incident until recently. The bartender was great and provided amazing service. We were enjoying or self's until the drunk owner started making advances towards the females in our group. We advised the bartender and the owner that his advances were not appreciated nor professional. The owner in his intoxicated state became argumentive and belligerent. We quickly left the establishment and will NEVER return. read more

Cogburn's was the go-to wings and beer bar for my wife and I, but something has changed in the past two months. They used to have the best wings in the Phoenix area and service was good. We were at Cogburn's at least once a week. The service in the bar is usually good, the service out front has always been slow, but is now terrible. Twice we have had to go find a server to place our order. We actually left a substandard tip last night because service was so bad. Whatever has changed, they need to change it back or just close the doors. What was once the best wings in town is now nothing more than Costco frozen wings with wings sauce poured all over them. We had to send ours back last night as they came out cold, not warm but actually cold. What used to be large, perfectly cooked wings with the perfect finish are now small, poorly prepared wings drowning in sauce. I will go back in two months so see if they recover, but I think unless they get back to were they were last Winter/Spring, they lost this customer. read more

Holy horrible. Just keep on walking past and eat at the dry cleaners. It'll be more appetizing. It all started when we sat down and the soda was lacking carbonation. We were going to order pizza and wings but were told the oven doesn't work and that pizza wasn't an option. So we figured we would just order their specialty, chicken wings! Ummmm that's your specialty?? They weren't very good at all. It even says on the menu that they're pro steroids in the chicken. That's how they're "big". I didn't think they were any bigger than anywhere else and it was a little unappetizing bragging that they buy steroid injected chicken. The service was definitely rough around the edges. The waitress slammed the refill drink down with a thud as she ran past. I guess I did get a refill. That must count for something. Definitely won't see the inside of this place again. read more

Excellent wing good drink specials waitress and bar tenders awesome, but hostesses are to dumb to understand English and are rude s all hell. Owner should have a talk with them and put them in check. read more

I'd like to start this saying that my original review was going to be extremely positive but my experience went from amazing to downright ridiculous. Sam is amazing, she was a great bartender. Excellent customer service. Food and drinks were both awesome. When she was moving to be a server Courtney came on. She asked every male customer at the bar if they needed a drink and completely ignored the two females (me and my friend). We ended up just leaving. Went back after a couple hours to get wings and pizza to go, she was rude, it took over 30 minutes to get our food, we got drinks while we waited and she never asked if we needed another one. When my friend approached her to just ask for a refund some guy sitting at the bar that Courtney was too busy talking to started laughing at my friend. The food came out during this time and she set it on a side table instead of handing it to us. No apology about the wait or anything. So even tho I like the place, the food and the drinks, I will not be back because of Courtney. She needs to be retrained or something. Probably one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. read more

Terrible service, horrible prices for the type of food. Ghost town and once we were served, I can understand why.

The service was horrible.... We ordered appetizers which came separately one at a time after approximately 15-20 minutes of sitting at our table. We also had a child with us which we asked to have their meal delivered early. It took approximately 25 minutes for a grilled cheese to be delivered at which point it was cold. When We complained to the waitress she argued with us as to why we were even questioning the quality of the food. We asked to speak with a manager at which point we were advised that the old manager was fired and that the new manager wasn't working that night. We ordered one of the wraps without onions because the person that was ordering was allergic. The wrap that we received was full of onions. Hey did deliver a new grilled cheese. In the end we received a free grilled cheese and 15% off our total bill. After our experience I don't believe that that was sufficient for the experience that we received. We will never come back. read more

Was receiving fliers for this place so convinced my friend to try it out with me since we both like eye candy with good food. Got there no one to sit us cause only one waitress and she was also receptionist. Manager there but not so friendly, oh yeah she was friendly but only to her family who was eating there (probably for free). To keep review short: food average, service below average, staff poor, eye candy zero. Go at your own risk. read more

Service is horrible and we were he only customers in the restaurant. Wings were average at best. Honey hot are not sweet or spicy, just salty. Don't order the house salad with balsamic dressing. It is not a $7 salad! The balsamic dressing is a weird sour cream/yogurt base. Not impressed at all. read more

Morgan the bartender made the whole time there even better. Good was great and atmosphere was really cool. Only real reason I would come back is Morgan though. read more

Awesome burgers and very good wings. Preferred the BBQ flavored wings over the salt and pepper which were a very salty. The homemade chips are a favorite side. read more

I was very impressed with this place. It had a great atmosphere and a was great place to bring the family. We stopped by on a Thursday when the wings are on sale for 40 cents and even though it was a long wait the wings and pizza were worth it. The manger even came by and apologized for the wait which shows great service. Overall great pizza and wings for a great price read more

When you walk in it smells like fabuloso and sewer. The foods is only good if you need a good cleanse.

I wish this review could be higher because their wings are really good. But their service is abysmal. We have been three Sundays in a row for their $6 wing and greens special, and all three experiences were really poor service. Last night was the absolute worst though. Our dining experience was almost 2 hours for just 2 of us. I had to go hunting for my own silverware because they dropped our food off with no place settings at all. We both ordered spicy wings and were left with no water refills or beverage refills of any kind. They brought my husband the wrong side and never brought us the correct one. We went over 30 minutes without seeing our server. When we finally did locate her, no apology was offered. It was just a really unfortunate experience when the terrible services affects our return when the food is actually good. Don't go to this place if you ever hope to get out of there in a timely manner. read more

The food is awesome so we have returned here several times to give this place chance after chance to improve the service that deserves 1 star on their best impression. Unfortunately, I think after leaving today to go to another nearby chain wing place due to poor service, will have to value my time and skip a return. May order takeout but not going to devalue my time and dine in.... read more

We keep going and trying this locations and service is horrible the food is pretty good but it takes 45 minutes to get a drink and longer to get food management does nothing to correct the problem hope u have better luck then we have read more

What a terrific place :) I went in with another person for a "working lunch" this afternoon. The service was great, the food was terrific (the bbq roast beef sliders were outstanding), and my ice tea glass was full. We stuck around for a couple of hours and the waitress was nothing less than friendly and helpful. Then there's all the TVs! I can't wait to come back with the hubby to watch football, try some more of the food and drink a few beers. It was a bit empty - I hope that everyone in the area gives it a try for themselves so it can have a chance to survive. The proximity to the ASU Polytechnic campus is huge - not much like it that close to campus. Seems like a no-brainer for the college kids. read more

Dive bar.. Enough said.. dirty and lacking direction, seems like just a place to get drunk and scream at the games on TV... Boring, wont be back.. slso, what is the strange smell in this place? read more

Food was good. Waitress was great! Booze was the best. We had the wings and tried the nachos too. Wings were great!!!

I am really confused why there are any bad reviews about Cogburns. So I never write a reviews on yelp because they are all bad(usually) but after the 4th time we went I had to get on and give a good review on the wings there cuz they are so good. The garlic Parmesan wings are amazing and I have never had anything better. I just can't believe why anyone would say mean things. Yes, my husband likes the girls and one time our server was being rude, the food made up for her off day. The bartender is super nice too. My husband LOVES the burgers and goes in for lunch sometimes because they are good too. I HAD to write this review because you usually see mean ones and that's not my style AND somehow karma will bite me in the ass and a customer will write or call my boss or worse, post on yelp. read more

I usually go to the Cogburns on ValVista but we have to beg to get a waitress to wait on us and the service is poor, but the food is great, so we decided to go to the mesa Cogburns, the waitresses were much nicer and they hustled, our drinks were never empty and the servers were very pleasant, great food! The ValVista Cogburns needs to clean house and get some friendly servers. read more

Great place to go if you have a few hours to kill while waiting for the food! When they say 10 minutes, expect it to be 45 - 60 minutes. Second time I got burned there. Won't be going back. :( read more

Solid place, have been there a few times, with my kids and my wife. Food is good, actually very good bar food. I am not sure if it deserves 5 stars, but I hope they stay around and I can't complain. read more

This place has the worst food ever! We ordered a pizza and it came out with raw dough! Had them make another one and the exact same thing happened. The food was horrible. To add on to our experience, the Manager Ryan was extremely rude and when We asked to speak to him again he walked right past us multiple times. That's not good customer service!! Would never recommend this place! But I would like to give our server, Megan a thumbs up, she was the only good part of our dinner. read more

Why does it smell so bad in this bar? The sound system is so crazy loud, you can't hear anyone speaking. The food takes forever to get to your table. Crazy prices for drinks. And did I say that it smells!!! read more
