    Fish fry + extra piece of fish
    Megan V.

    Awesome dive bar! Came here for Fish Fry Friday with some friends and we were not disappointed!! First, the staff is amazing and so friendly and kind. Our waitress came to our table quickly and took our drink order. The drinks were strong and tasty! Good beer selection as well as liquor selection. As for the food - DANG WAS THE FISH GOOD! My husband and I split the fried cat fish then immediately ordered another portion Cajun style. So much flavor. Not greasy at all, and delicious fries on the side! Really great vibe all around and definitely worth a try in you're in the area.

    Our favorite bar and grill. Good vibes, good bartenders, great food and drinks! New updated food menu with a lot of great choices. We love coming up for brunch on football Sunday. Stop in during the week to see Rachel.

    So you have to take it for what it is and adjust your expectations. If you come at it expecting a restaurant service you'll not be happy, instead have the perspective that this is a neighborhood dive bar. Friendly staff and bartender, not the fastest but what do you expect. It's a dive bar. They chat with customers and regulars. That's just the vibe. So relax, have a drink, and get the Mac and cheese bite which is awesome. One star off for no paper towels...dive bar or not, your bathroom should be stocked.

We didn't wait long before our waitress came over with a big smile. She was really friendly. My hubby ordered a Guinness with that thick, creamy foam on top. The cutest part was they printed a little leprechaun right on the foam. So cute! I got the Celtic Cucumber and it was really refreshing and delicious. Not too sweet, just light and easy to drink. They also have quite a few cocktails to choose from. We ordered the pretzel, wings, crispy cod sliders, corned beef sliders, Philly cheesesteak fries, and the Shepherd's Pasty. Everything was really tasty and well balanced, nothing too sweet or too salty. Our favorite was definitely the Pasty. The lamb was cooked perfectly and the crust was flaky and so good. This was our first time here and it was such a nice surprise. Cozy spot, good food, good drinks, and friendly service. We'll definitely come back to try more.

On this visit, we had just finished lunch at RA Sushi and only planned on stopping in for drinks. However, after seeing the menu, we couldn't resist ordering the wings--and I'm so glad we did. The wings were absolutely delicious. They arrived perfectly crispy, exactly how I prefer them, with a flavorful seasoning that made every bite incredibly satisfying. The accompanying dressing was equally impressive--rich, creamy, and the perfect complement to the wings. Even though we weren't particularly hungry, we found ourselves finishing every last bite. One of my favorite things about The Kettle Black is their outstanding craft beer program. This time, I ordered a beer flight and loved the opportunity to sample several different brews. Each beer offered its own unique character and flavor profile, making the experience both enjoyable and memorable. It's clear that a great deal of thought goes into curating their selection, and it's one of the reasons I continue coming back. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between a welcoming neighborhood pub and a destination for food and beer enthusiasts. The service is always friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, creating an experience that feels both comfortable and elevated. Whether you're stopping in for a full meal, appetizers and drinks, or simply to explore their craft beer offerings, The Kettle Black consistently delivers. It's a place I find myself returning to again and again, and every visit reminds me why it remains one of my favorite pubs in the Valley.

You can tell right away this is the kind of place regulars come back to often. Food I didn't try much food, but I did have the cheese crisp and it was solid. Light, flaky, and more like an open-faced tostada than a quesadilla. It came topped with green chili and chicken, and everything worked well together. Based on that, I'd expect the rest of the menu to be consistent, even if it's not trying to reinvent the wheel. Service Service was efficient, especially considering how busy it was. No complaints here... you can tell the staff knows how to handle a full house and keep things moving. Ambience This is where the place stands out. The vibe feels like a food network designed a biker bar, but in a fun, not over-the-top way. It's also apparently a Kansas City Chiefs bar, which adds to the identity. There was a live band playing early 2000s rock hits, which kept the energy up. Crowd was friendly overall, very much a neighborhood crowd. Overall This isn't a destination bar, but it's a really solid go-to if you live nearby. Think of it as an elevated dive/sports bar with a strong local following. Good drinks, good energy, and a place that does what it's supposed to do well.

    SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more George and Dragon Pub 4240 N. Central Avenue Phoenix, 85012 Companion and I were hungry and I had a craving for English style fish and chips. Where else to go but to a pub! We arrived at 6:40 in the evening and seated ourselves as is the custom. While many of the tables are hightops, we chose a regular table off to the side. First was an appetizer of Curried Chips along with NA Guinness to wash it down. The chips were like mashed potatoes in the center and crispy on the outside. Along with the authentic curry to dip them in, it was deliciousness on a plate. On to the main dishes. Companion ordered Bangers and Mash. Excellent tasting sausages served over mashed potatoes in traditional style. Companion loved it but was unable to finish it. For myself, I had my Fish and Chips that I was craving. 2 large pieces of cod perfectly fried in a beer batter coating. Served over a pile of perfect chips and accompanied by malt vinegar I was back in the U.K. Only problem was that it was served with a side of English peas instead of mushy peas like one would get overseas, but one can't be too choosy. Of course, we had to have dessert. There is always room for dessert! Companion ordered Toffee Pudding with Hot Custard sauce and I ordered the Bread Pudding. The toffee was chewy and sticky as it should be and the hot custard sauce added just the right touch. My bread pudding was in dense slices as is proper in the U.K.. I stole some of companions Hot Custard to put on it and it was wonderful. This was an excellent dinner which brought back memories of pubs in the U.K. The only thing missing off the menu was a Ploughman's Lunch, but not enough people would order it I think. Service and cleanliness were up to par. It's worth noting that on Sundays they have Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding. I can't wait! 5 stars

The coleslaw was disgusting. I almost threw up. The waitress told me with a beaming smirk, she "loves our coleslaw." I handed it to her and said "try it". She declined. Since I was craving the CHIPS part of the meal (finally some carbs), I was horrified (drama again) to find my fries were cold and severely floppy. No crispiness what so ever. Maybe a one off, but what a let down. And I have to remember this every time I'm craving carbs until my next cheat day.

Their bar selection is vast with tons of beers on tap and various bottles/cans available. While it is always pretty busy, there's always a spot to sit, and the service staff is on top of their game. The location has two floors, an upstairs bar and downstairs, and pool tables/dart boards on each level as well. The vibe is very cool, with plants and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. If you want more of a dark and mysterious vibe, head upstairs. If you like it a little more spacious, downstairs is your place! If you haven't had a pasty before, you are missing out on an exquisite dining experience. Whether you use a fork and knife or eat it as a proper hand pie, you'll love it.

Today, I was walking near my office and came across the Downtown Phoenix location of Cornish Pasty. I enjoyed a tasty lunch with good service, and I am already looking forward to heading back there. When I approached the restaurant from the corner of Central and Monroe, it wasn't clear which door was the door I should enter though it seems like any door off Monroe or Central is just fine. There were limited number of tables plus the bar, and I was delighted to see a small table available. I was eating on my own with a book, and I was quickly greeted by one of several team members who stopped by my table over my lunch hour. I asked a few questions about three options, and I decided upon the Chicken Pot Pie Signature Pasty consisting of chicken, carrots, red potato, green beans, celery, and onion with rosemary. There was also chicken gravy on the side. Everything about the dish was delicious! I would consider ordering this again as I enjoyed it so much; however, I may want to try something else next time. There are so many options! I did learn though that you cannot substitute most options in the pasties. Visit the Cornish Pasty website at https://www.cornishpastyco.com. On the website is the history of the Cornish pasty, information about all 11 locations (of which 9 are in Arizona), menus, a photo gallery, catering options, contact form, employment options, online ordering, and gift cards. The menu consists of their signature pasties and premium pasties though they also list vegan and vegetarian pasties, salads, appetizers and soups, sides, desserts, and drinks. While the Scottsdale and Tempe locations appear larger than the Downtown Phoenix location, it was still comfortable and had similar positive customer service from staff. There are so few restaurants like the Cornish Pasty in the Phoenix area. I'd certainly recommend visiting any of the Cornish Pasty locations though for a positive experience Downtown, feel free to stop by. No reservations are needed. If you don't find a regular table available, feel free to stop at the bar and take a seat there. I look forward to returning back to the Cornish Pasty again soon. Yum!
