    Been coming here regularly for years and it just occurred to me we've never left a review for our families favorite spot. Love coming in a little later after the mesquite grill has been fired up. Service is always amazing. Steaks are amazing, and always cooked right, with a great smoke char on the outside. The hamburger is so slept on, because it's cooked on the same grill as the steaks ot has that same smoke taste and is arguably the best in the city/state. Love coming in on a Friday to a live country singer, dipping the amazing bread into the beans, and just spending quality family time. So many memories have been made here. Can't recommend it enough.

    pricey For what you get. I had Caribbean mama (delicious drink made by the female bartender) and I had a T-bone steak steak (came with a salad, beans, and "salsa" (it was called salsa, but it looked like some watery diced tomatoes out of a can. I wasn't a fan.) and I got baked potato on the side with sour cream and butter. (I wish there was an option to add to the potato like cheese, bacon, or other toppings, But bare menu options.) my steak was a little salty, and I ordered it medium, and it was more well. Indoor and outdoor seating. Two TVs at the bar. They have live music on some nights.

    This is meant to be constructive and not mean spirited. Positive - The ambiance of the place is awesome! I love the outside patio and the way that they cook steaks over an open flame. Constructive - Upgrade the dinnerware and overhaul the menu. The sides they put on the table are cheesy and they could use a complete overhaul on everything not meat. Businesses that don't continue to improve eventually die and this exactly where this place is heading if they don't reinvent themselves.

    Solid steak dinner made here! This restaurant was a hidden gem from me! Friends brought us here and I'm so glad they did. There's plenty of seating outdoors if you're wanting to sit under the stars and listen to live music while watching them cook your dinner on the open pit! We sat inside and the waitress who has been there for many, many years was wonderful! She was attentive and a great storyteller. We learned the table next to us was said to be "haunted" with a friendly ghost. She shared some stories that were both interesting and cool! I would describe this restaurant as rustic and "cowboy." I had the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly. Dinners are served with "all-you-can-eat" ranch beans, salsa, and bread. Might sound like a weird combination, but it works! We will definitely be back!

The outdoor batting cages are an added draw making it seemingly a family-friendly environment. We have been to Home Plate around 8 times in the past 1.5 years. So, by no means am I basing my opinion on a single visit. The food is basic bar food with nothing special about it. I can do better at home. Our last time eating there, my family had hamburgers. They were extremely messy and fair at best. The service has never been "fast" noreven attentive. With wages being fairly high in AZ, service will often suffer due to understaffing. My wife and I went to Home Plate last night to watch some preseason football. It appeared that a couple new bartenders were in training. A red-headed woman who appeared to be the trainer was incredibly rude to the trainees who approached her for some direction. A) Terrible condescending way to train B) Never put an employee down and definitely don't berate them in front of customers. I was surprised that the bartender in training didn't walk out. Later in the evening something transpired in the side room which was handled by this same worker yelling from the bar to the people in that room using expletives. Where is the Customer Service? Where is basic decency and tact? After last night, my wife and I were in agreement that we deserve a more professional sport's bar experience. At a minimum, I shouldn't have to bear witness to public shaming of a new employee. On a side note: I did find it uncomfortable that a large centrally located TV was always tuned to Newsmax regardless of it being a Sport's Bar. MAGA recruitment tool or perhaps conversion therapy for Trump Derangement Syndrome?

We got there and there were no low top tables available inside (needed a high chair), so we had to sit outside. It was completely empty outside. The hostess led us to a table and chairs that were soaked by the misters. She acted like it was fine. There was only one other low top outside. We went to it and there were tons of red ants crawling all around the ground and up the table and chair legs. Also a bunch of leaves and debris. The whole time going from table 1 to table 2, then noticing and commenting on the ants, the hostess was right there. No apology or attempt to clean anything up. Just standing there awkwardly, watching us take in the disappointment. It was clear the outside was not cleaned or even looked at in quite some time, and that would not change, so we left. We went to Lil Abners instead. As soon as we got there, we realized our terrible experience at Growlers was a blessing in disguise. The drink deals are better and cheaper at Lil Abners anyway. Plus, despite a staff of mostly high school and college age kids, they actually do a good job of making sure you have a good experience. And of course, the food is a million times better. So long Growlers. We won't be back.

We were there a little over an hour sharing stories; how we met our partners, what's fascinating about wines and what makes Old Pueblo unique. The wines were delicious; 100% organic and prepared in a way where you enjoy every sit and get every bit of the flavor as intended. This is definitely saved on our list of wineries outside of California that we will be going back to. Just got to plan the next road trip.

Wondering why a brewery with kids? Well, half of this place is a giant game room filled with old and new pinball machines, a pool table, a couple video games, foosball, a boxing game and shuffleboard. I met Jim, the awesome bartender on duty, who told me some really net stuff about the place and gave me a limited tour of the brewing room. I tried the CDO Blonde beer, which is fitting for this blonde CDO grad. I thought it was really good. Jim explained that they don't add sugar to their brewing process, and instead their natural flavor options serve as the sugars in brewing. Things like fruits, flowers and nuts take the place of added sugar. The pinball machines are very fun, but I have to say the boxing machine was the highlight for the teenage boys in our group. Seeing who hit hardest was all the rage. Catalina Brewing Company takes their beer on the run, or should I say mountain biking trails, to serve to people at events, which sounds fun. There some neat history in this place. I hear they have trivia nights as well. They are family friendly, serving sodas as well. They make cocktails with wine converted to various types of "liquor ". Overall I thought this was a great place I'd go back to in a heartbeat. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, and parking. It was clean and best of all, cool in the summertime. Check out the walls when you're there, including the bathroom walls, for funny memorabilia.
