    Short Rib Empanadas
    Heidi M.

    We decided to have dinner at PCG after having a few drinks with friends next door at Still and Barrel, their sister restaurant. The food and service were great, and if you're a whiskey lover, this is a good place to check out! They have an awesome collection! Definitely recommend stopping by!

    After years of wondering, I finally checked out Phoenix City Grille for a weeknight dinner. I had no idea what to expect from an interior- while situated next to a Pizza Hut this is more upscale than I thought. Definitely an environment where you might want to reflect on what you're wearing before popping by. The menu is odd; you're looking at braised short rib one moment and a turkey sandwich the next, but the place was packed with what looked like a solid group of regulars. We ordered the aforementioned turkey sandwich and an crispy eggplant sandwich. Both came with shoestring fries. Both sandwiches were good, the turkey sandwich was a little pepper-forward, so if that's not your scene make sure you ask for no peppers! The crispy eggplant sandwich's flavor profile is herbed goat cheese and tomato jam- I don't think it matters what else is in the sandwich as those will be the only two things you'll taste. However, they both taste good. Service was friendly, the food was a little slow coming out. Overall, if you're local- definitely check this place out to judge for yourself.

    This place is so unassuming on the outside... inside has dim and moody lighting, a huge bar, lots of space for tables and booths... it's a vibe. I got a slice of the green chile cornbread because IT IS NATURALLY GLUTEN FREE HOLY MOLY! No idea why but I won't question it. Guys, it was so frickin good. So moist. Nice pieces of corn. Great flavor. I didn't need the butter, but used a little to elevate it just a little more. Yummmmm. I also got the summer salad with salmon skewer - the salmon, I wished I had more of it. It was so tender and cooked perfectly! The salad was otherwise refreshing with various fruit and tangy cheese and a lemon mint vinaigrette to tie it altogether. It was great with the bread, made it a complete meal, otherwise the salad on its own wouldn't have been as satisfying. My boyfriend got the large PCG pasta, which didn't look that large lol but he was full after eating the entire bowl! He loved the cream sauce, two thumbs up. Good service, it was pretty quick!

    Went to city grille for an event. I chose tortilla soup and salad. We had our own private room and servers which was nice. The food was good. The salad had a good amount of chicken and sold dressing.

    One of my favorite spots for happy hour or dinner. Always consistent and always adding great specials Last night went for anniversary dinner. Service was terrific as always. Had the peppercorn steak for entree and it was cooked perfectly and had tons of flavor. For starters we did the green chile cornbread which is a favorite. We also got the eggplant bites which may be the best thing on the menu. Lastly had the warm chocolate tort for dessert. Perfect ending to a terrific meal.

    One of our go to places. Starts ex with the bacon wrapped shrimp. Always so great. Did the burgers and they really are some of the best. Service was kind of off this particular day... but that won't stop us from returning.

    Carne Asada Tacos

    Blackened mahi mahi

    I was brought to Phoenix City Grille by a local today and ended up having a great late lunch. It seems they are open all day which was convenient for us. We arrived around 2 pm, and although the restaurant was still fairly busy, the server was kind enough to seat us in a quieter section toward the back upon request, which I really appreciated. Our server came by quickly and handed us menus, and we ordered the Ramona Farms super food salad, the carne asada tacos, and the blackened mahi mahi daily special. The salad was delicious and came with a Chiltepin-Dijon dressing. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor since it had just a touch of spice that elevated what could have been a simple dish. All of their salad dressings are made in-house, which explains the unique taste and definitely sets it apart. The carne asada tacos were exactly what you would expect: classic, straightforward, and satisfying. The daily fish special, the blackened mahi mahi, was also excellent. It was served medium well with a crisp outer finish, which is exactly how I like it, and came with broccolini, mango salsa, and a red wine reduction that complemented the fish really well. Prices here are surprisingly reasonable considering the quality of the food. You can expect to spend around thirty dollars per person for a drink, an appetizer or salad, and an entrée. I would recommend Phoenix City Grille to anyone looking for a quick, delicious meal with great value. A very solid find.

    Things have certainly changed here since owner Sheldon bowed out and turned the place over to new management. It's not a good sign when every time you visit there are new servers, maybe one regular. Tip: stick with menu regular items you're used to, favorites, not their specials. They are overpriced and usually in weird pairings and sauces. Last night my dinner partner got the special baked halibut on top of smoked beets. For $40 it looked like an appetizer and was gone in six bites. While I ordered the Coffee Rubbed Pork Tenderloin. We know exactly where this recipe idea came from and it wasn't close. The chef needs to go back through the files and find Sergio's recipe! The pork was served bloody rare and I've never seen that before. I cut off the thin seared edges and that was all I could eat. The puree/sauce was not good and the entire thing was flavorless. As usual the service was excellent and we will keep trying our fav items in hopes the new management gets things figured out, especially the cooks' quality of food they send out.

We located this Location based on one of my YELP friends that I've been following for years as she really loves Aftermath. On this occasion, we were lucky enough that they had live music.

For drink drinks we ordered the old-fashioned and also the big easy. We both enjoyed our drinks and moved on to ordering Andre's. My husband ordered the aftermath burger and I ordered the meatloaf. All in all, we were really happy with our selections and actually ended up getting a second round of cocktails as they were really delicious. For this round of transition to the Cabernet red wine, which is Dauo Wines and it was really tasty. We'll definitely be back, hope that this musician continues to play live music.

Kimchi fried rice was a good portion but bland - no flavor of kimchi or anything really... Aftermath wings with the dill ranch was okay- wings were dry but ranch made up for it. Really didn't get the house hot sauce on it at all. Burger- Highly touted on social media for an amazing burger but honestly for $24 each, you're better off getting a burger anywhere else. We ordered both the Aftermath Burger and Jalapeño Burger. Nothing stood out in a good or bad way so... forgettable. Service- Slow. Only one bartender who mostly was slow. Drinks and water sat empty for quite a while we ate. For a total of $120+tip, it was really middle of the pack.

It took like 20 min before they ordered drinks and 30 min plus before drinks were delivered! Crazy right? The first visit I got the burger and fries and it was delicious. The second time I got a steak medium well and loaded baked potato and the potato was very dry (like an older potato that was on its way out) and although I loved the overall flavor of the steak I had to eat around the edges only and avoided the center because not only wasn't it medium w no pink it was red! Also it had gristle and fat. For $44 it was a waste of good meat and I'm not one to ask a cook to throw it back in the grill when they should know how to produce different levels of cooked steak. The ambiance is a chill dim lit vibe and easy for conversations so that was great! The bathrooms are clean and smell good. Great mirror lighting too. But the front layout is odd, the hostess stand is right there so everyone crams in front of door and there's no barrier to the first large table so you're like staring at the poor people eating at that first long table lol! I think they need to switch up the entry layout and put up a half wall or decorative situation to tuck away that table a bit too. Just my two cents. Overall, I'd go again but it would be really nice if management saw this and trained staff on how to greet table sooner, take drink orders, and deliver said drinks timely for a more pleasant dining experience.
