Lack of service. That's why the 2 stars. The place is pretty cool inside. I really like the big game trophies all around the wall. What I didn't like was the service. Menu looked promising. Too bad I never ordered due to the waitress/bartender not coming around. I may or may not try this place again. I doubt it. There's so many other places that I'd rather be ignored at. read more

Great food and the waitress was perfect. Our drinks were always full and she was very sweet. It was a very nice and laid back atmosphere. I ordered the fajita salad and loved it. My boyfriend got the jumbo shrimp and said it was fantastic. Our friends had eaten there the night before as well. We will definitely be back. read more

Great fish tacos on Tuesday great atmosphere but slow service been there twice only on Tuesdays pork tacos and chicken tacos 3 for $5

Love going here because they have an outside bar! Wish more places had an outside place to eat and drink

I went here yesterday with a friend and the service was average.. I however did not care for the decor on the walls.. (dead animals, etc..) nor the hunting on tv. Other than that, the staff was friendly and our bartender Jason was really nice.. So if you are okay with animals on walls then I would recommend this place to you. Average service, nice place to drop in and have a cheap beverage. read more

I went here a few weeks ago for their fish fry. I was here once before for breakfast and found myself disappointed. I should have known better than to get this place a second chance. The fish tasted horrible and some of it smelled like ammonia. They took the price of one of the three meal off the bill but I could still smell the ammonia from the fish they were still serving. There is no reason to ever come back to this place. read more

after reading all of these reviews, we decided to give it a try, thinking we'd either love it or hate it. We loved it! We were greeted by our friendly waitress within minutes. She took our order for drinks and all-you-can-eat fish fry & returned in a heartbeat, first with the drinks, followed closely by our fish dinners. My husband said quietly to me, "that's funny. i thought that the negative reviews that you read me mentioned the wait staff being rude. That actually couldn't be further from the truth!" I agreed with him. She was especially nice & attentive and quick! The food was good to great. The portions were very large, and she took it upon herself to reorder fish for us before we even had to ask for it. I loved the fact that the fish was served with a large cup of tarter and a large cup of cocktail sauce. You usually don't get cocktail sauce & I prefer it. And the cocktail sauce was especially good! It had a nice horseradish kick that made me wonder if it was homemade. The only things I didn't LOVE: 1.)well, the taxidermy extravaganza was a little much, but i come from a family of trappers and hunters. it wasn't a deal-breaker, put it that way. 2.)the iced tea was instant -but when the waitress asked if i wanted a refill, i asked if they had dr.pepper and she brought me a mr.pibb right away -and didn't charge me for the second beverage. 3.)the price was a little high. but, i thought that the service and, well the cocktail sauce, made it worth it. We absolutely will return & we would definitely recommend it to anyone. (p.s. i am not an employee and i don't know anybody affiliated with this business) read more

Love their corned beef and cabbage on wed. nights.

if you like poor service and 20 min wait times for a simple bottled domestic beer then this is your place. waitress is more interested in her phone than taking care of customers. I tip very well and thought I would leave a huge tip so I would get better service next time.. nope.. same ol thing.. food is hit and miss sometimes its sbove average and 70 percent of the time its average to poor. read more

***Extremely Disappointed*** After researching to find a good Friday Night Fish Fry I saw tons of great ratings online about this place and decided to make the half hour trip to try it. Have to say we have tried a LOT of fish fry and this was by far the worst we have EVER had. If it was fresh it did not taste like it. We ate a few bites, payed the check and left. I'm sorry but I won't be back. On top of the that the bar smelled horrible and my shoes stuck to the floor. Gross!!!!! read more

Will not return Rude uncomfortable atmosphere After 20 minutes with no service left read more

Hang on to your lug nuts because this dive is in need of an overhaul. The interior is dark, dingy, if Ryan Lochte had done some decorating. The bartender does double-duty as a server , taking food/drink orders at the tables. (Service started out slow and then fizzled out altogether after about 10 minutes) Found myself at the bar between a pair of heavy-duty trenchermen to my left (wolfing down an order of nachos with extra meat sauce) and a group of hollow-eyed heavy drinkers on the right. Ordered a glass of merlot...don't have that spirit here...double shots of whiskey next time! Wont be back. Good luck if you decide to visit! (Bring your hazmat equipment!) read more

Seriously? I order a drink and the waitress wants me 2 finish my 1st drink so she doesn't have to make my 2nd and give me a clean glass? Alrighty Then! read more

A great place. Dark, divey bar with great staff and food, and lots of stuffed animals all over the walls. Try the all-you-can-eat Friday fish-fry! read more

Holy grail of hole in the wall bars. Great place with awesome service and EXCELLENT food I have eaten here twice, and both times been pleasantly surprised at how great the food was. The Q burger is one of, if not the best burgers I've ever had. Also, I asked for crispy fries and they were actually crispy!! Compliments to the chefs!! Great great place. read more

It's a bar. It's dark, there are dead animals all over the wall and all most all of the food is fried. I have never been terribly impressed with the food, but its cheap, as is the beer, which is what really matters right? The service is... adequate. Most importantly I can ride my bike here, so that's pretty much why I come. read more

What a great little bar, the owner was a super nice guy and the drinks are super cheap. The inside is way nicer than I thought it would be. Its very manly with all the animal heads everywhere but its very clean and just a great little place to meet some friends for a drink. It wasn't busy when I stopped by but it was around noon to meet a friend. I would say it is average in size and the service was great too. read more

For all you complaining about the prices... SMH.... Minimum wage went up... of course prices in food are going to go up...I mean cmon people.. This place is amazing. The staff is awesome and the food is great! I've been going to this place since I was a kid w/ my dad and its always been good. The décor is out of this world but its what makes the place! read more

1 star is being kind. Bar tender was very rude acted extremely inconvenienced to simply take our drink order. After sitting over 20 minutes waiting for her to return to take our food order whilst listening to her complain to regulars at the bar we simply paid our drink tab and left. Will not return, do not recommend. read more

So we are regulars at the other q bar location. Today we tried this location and I had the worst dining experience ever. There were three staff members and we were the only ones in there. There was a gal named Tiffany who was complaining about how she hates all the staff and dropping f bombs and cussing the whole time. She barely acknowledged us and when she did she never stopped gossiping about the staff. We will not be returning. read more

Bartenders and servers are really great. Casual atmosphere, food is cheap, good fish fry. I'd recommend read more

Ice cold beers and a smoke! Good fish fry. Cool dive bar with great service!

This is a great little cozy place with genuine atmosphere in a neighborhood watering hole way, and terrific food if you like memorable bar food. It's fun, it's cheap, and it's the way things used to be a whole lot more than they are now. read more

No more all you can eat Catfish! Who ever is responsible for the menu change, you destroyed what was special about the Q. I won't be back - see ya! read more

A typical dive bar, cheap and easy. The drinks were good and decently priced. Not really anything that made this place stand out to me, if in the area I would go again. read more

Pleasantly surprised, had not been to this place since the AZ state smoking ban and it has fully recovered. Still a smoking patio but no effects of this inside. Baja style burrito was VERY good although it was called "fish tacos" it was an A as far as burritos go. Will be back. read more

Friday night fish fry! Fish is very fresh and delicious I especially like their fish tacos but beware their chipotle sauce is very, very hot. If you are hot sensitive get it on the side. Good salads too. I always drink iced tea theirs is terrible get a soda. read more

I have been going there for years for the Fish Fry. I don't know of any place in the valley that has cat fish fry. Great Cat Fish at that. As a matter of fact all the Fish is great here. People, if you are going for a fish fry expect fried food. I would bet most of you eat the crap a McDonnald's, now that's BAD FOOD. As for the animals on the wall DONT LOOK AT THEM If you don't like looking at them. If you don't like whats on TV, you are an adult ask to change the channel. By the way this is an old country neighborhood bar not the Ritz it was here when nothing else was out there, if you are too stuck up for that then don't eat there. If you want GREAT FOOD for a DECENT PRICE, GREAT SERVICE then you need to go try it. If not I guess you all are just to used to BAD service now and you forgot to appreciate GREAT SERVICE. read more

The place is full of dead animals and dead staff. The staff is rude, gossipy and the set their drink prices on if they like you or not!! The food is greasy and disgusting and the place stinks like the oil hasn't been changed in years. read more

Saturday we where out running errands and got hungry. Well the typical fast food wasn't going to do. We saw the sign and loved the 6am cocktails and needed to try this place. We hit the door and Jess was running the room and taking control of a chaotic room. She pulled it all together and made it work. The food was great and well priced and good size portions. We will definitely be back and have found our new spot on this side of town. read more

For folks from the Midwest who miss their fish frys and great small town taverns this is the place to go. It has none of the chi chi foo foo restaurant atmosphere - it is definitely a sports bar. It is about great food and fun and friends. The fried food is available every day of the week so you don't have to wait til Friday but if you want all you can eat, Friday is the day to go. But expect to wait! Prices are reasonable. The Walleye Pike fish fry is expensive but worth it. The beer is plentiful and the wait staff is friendly. Go tip a few! read more

We absolutely love The Other Q Bar. It has a Unique atmosphere that seems to just fit for a family and then also for adult times...and it has a super friendly staff-you walk in and are treated like a regular. The food is fantastic! Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. Some of our favs are the Julie's chicken sandwich, New Yorker, Wings, Fajita salad, Laura's buffalo wrap... I could go on and on! Have a dietary request... They will accommodate. Try it out. You won't be disappointed! read more

Definitely a dive bar. Food is good. Service is pretty good. Drinks are decent. I hope you like dead animals on the walls. They are all over the place. Friends rave abt the Friday fish fry. I don't eat sea food. So, idk, but I trust them. read more

You can't go wrong eating at the other Q. This is one of my favorite places to eat in Phoenix. They open at 6:00 am which is great for me when I have a gap in my morning schedule. The breakfasts are hardy with big portions. My favorite is the green chile plate, WOW! Excellent green chile, eggs cooked to perfection by José, comes with potatoes, tortilla and condiments. One of my other favorites is the Ruben sandwich with corned beef. In my opinion it is the BEST Ruben in Phoenix. Trust me I've tried a lot. I recently tried the seafood platter. It was great but, I'm not a big calamari fan I'd rather have scallops and it could use some sides like the fish n chips. The fish is always fresh and delicious. What ever you order you won't be disappointed. read more

I hadn't been to the Q in a few years. We went to the fish fry tonight (2/24). WOW, the price went way up and we through the quality went down. The fish was dry and flavor wasnt very good. I dont think we will go back for fish their ever. read more

Best bar-food pub-grub in Arizona... The steak quesadilla is heaven... Keep in mind it is a Phoenix bar... so it has it's typical drunks that come in every day, just like every other bar in Arizona... Tthe food is outstanding... I just wish they had more meixican options.. read more

I've only been here on Fridays for the AYCE fish fry when I have a craving. I think it's walleye or Alaska pollock with french fries and coleslaw. During the summer, it's not too crowded. But when the snowbirds are here, the wait could be about 45 mins to 1 hour. The fish is the best I've had in the greater metropolitan Phoenix. At other places, the fish seem to be heavily breaded. You can tell by looking at the pictures. If the fish is flat and smooth, it would appear that they use too much breading around the fish. Q Bar fish seem to be thick and lightly breaded. I appreciate that. You can actually see the fish. At other places, I would have to pull the breading off and the fish is so small. read more

My husband and I have eaten at this place many times and never was disappointed with the service or the food. The fish fry on fridays is especially good! We've been going here for at least 7 years. read more

I've been coming to the Q since I was 5 years old. I practiced gymnastics in the gym behind the Q and went there after practice for dinner with my dad for years. It was convenient, delicious, and the bartenders all knew us by name and always had my dads drink ready. I decided to revisit last night, I am now 22 so I wanted to have my first ever, dirty Shirley. I was looking forward to sharing my history with our waitress. We arrived and took a seat in a booth. Our waitress approached the table and asked us what we wanted to drink. We wanted beer so she asked us for our IDs, and my dad told her he didn't have his on him. She snapped back and said well there's no way I'm serving you without an ID, when he was clearly the oldest one at the table. FYI, anyone that looks under 30 is who you're lawfully supposed to card. If you're going to deny service to someone that is clearly over 30 your tip is going to be crap. Strike one lady. Our food didn't take long but both the fried fish and fries were almost cold and hard as if they had been sitting out. Definitely not fresh out of the fryer. My number one pet peeve is hot food coming out cold. Especially fish!!!! We asked for hot fries because ours were stone cold and then she charged me for the extra basket!!! You don't charge people extra because your food when out cold !!! What kind of customer service is that??? Strike 2 lady!! My boyfriend asked for water and she brought him a Dr. Pepper, so of course he drank it, God forbid we ask for anything else. She notices during our visit his drink is empty, and asks him to refill it, so he kindly said well I asked for water and you brought me this... She blamed it on the table next to her and laughed at herself as if she was trying to redeem herself. Strike 3!! The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because I know I could have a better experience with a different waitress. It was all her fault my experience sucked. I'll make sure to stay clear of her when I go there. I've never met a server so bitter and rude before. Good attitude, attentiveness, and care get you great tips in the service industry. I would know because I am a server now !!! This chick was not happy getting $2 on a $60 tab. I didn't have to heart to completely stiff her but I hope she thinks twice and tries a little harder to please her guests. Maybe her tips will improve! read more

Came here for the first time tonight looking for a new neighborhood bar. I'd strongly suggest only coming here if you are looking for cheap drinks & good coleslaw. I would not recommend eating the food, unless you haven't eaten in days. I really don't know how anyone could have an appetite when the first thing you smell when you walk in the door is dust with a hint of fryer grease. But we decided to order food anyway, against our better judgement. The appetizer of onion rings and fried mushrooms were not just a huge disappointment but the most disgusting thing I'd ever eaten. I'm not sure if it was a dirty fryer but the mushrooms especially tasted really gross, like they had gone bad. We couldn't eat anymore after the first bite. When our main dishes came out the food runner asked if we needed anything else in which my husband replied "Some more drinks please, if you could send our server back over". Ten minutes later our server came to our table with the same disappointing beers we ordered previously. Instead of coming back to ask us what we wanted, she just assumed we wanted the same thing. Our main entrees were OK. The one thing that made them just "OK" and not "bad" was the coleslaw they put on top, it was really good. And made our sandwiches probably taste better than they would have without it.......so this joint is getting 2 stars instead of 1 for good coleslaw & cheap beer!!! read more
