Been here twice now. Liked the food enough the first time to come back. Atmosphere: It's your basic dive bar. Dimly lit. Mix of tables and booths. Lots of wildlife on the walls. A few tv's. A small patio. That said, being a dive bar isn't necessarily a negative thing. I like dive bars. It looks like a good place to stop for a drink, some food or to watch a game. Food: I ordered the Fajita Salad both times I went. It's delicious! Sliced, grilled chicken along with sauteed green peppers and onions served on a mix of lettuce, red cabbage, carrot and tomato. It comes with jalapeno ranch dressing and a huge folded over tortilla. The tortilla tastes homemade. My friend ordered the Alaskan Pollack the first time, and a bacon cheeseburger the second. He liked both! Service: Not great. Not terrible. Different person waited on us each time. They were polite, but not friendly or welcoming. On the second visit, the server walked away abruptly without asking what side my friend wanted with his burger. We had to call her back over to finish the order. I'll give it three stars. I'll probably go back again for the Fajita Salad, but if they really want repeat business, they need to work with their staff on customer service skills. read more

Very good food. Prices are good. But, something needs to be done about the staffing. I was in there last night and there were 2 servers for about 70 people. It's fairly common for this place to be under staffed. read more

Oh my Lord!!! Hubby says, "Try it, you'll like it" as he's been here several times. We go today and I order the Nathan's Foot Long Hot Dog, requesting it be grilled well with some burn marks and the bun grilled dry. My oh my, they did it right!!! I love Love LOVE grilled hot dogs and boy was this one HOT and juicy!! Never ever have I had such a juicy dog!!! Fabulous!! And the French fries were hot, crispy and salted just right! Great place to stop in for a beer and bite!!! read more

Food is great and beer is cold. Had catfish special (fried perfectly, crunchy and moist) and foot long Nathan's hot dog with green chili, awesome, and a draft Sierra Nevada beer. I will definitely be back. Fish specials are always great. read more

See all

Not the same since Ray the bartender left. Everyone used to be so friendly. Definitely needs updating no one wants to sit in a booth that has tape read more

Went with two others for bloody Mary's and breakfast, food was prepared right and tasted good however, two of us were served our breakfast but the other person sat and watched us eat until I went in to check on his food and found the server bs'ing with customers and The other person's food was sitting up on the counter. The music on The patio was blaring from the night before and the server could not find the remote to turn it down. I gave it three stars because the breakfast for two of us was nice and hot and good, The other person said the food tasted good but it was slightly on the cool side. Overall food was good service sucked read more

This has been my go to breakfast place for years. Yes, a dice bar for breakfast. The food is good, cheap and the staff friendly. The normal menu is great as well, lots of choices. Only bummer is they only do breakfast Friday-Sunday now. Worth checking out, definitely dark and divvy, with an older/blue collar crowd. Big smoking patio with its own dedicated bar. Lots of games, from pool to darts to board games. Plenty of seating and a decent size inside bar. read more

Our favorite neighborhood dive! The Q Burger, Catfish, Cod, Walleye are all delicious. The patio is the best. We love to run the jukebox while sipping drinks. Been coming here since 2008. Two thumbs up for the friendly and fun atmosphere as well. read more

Q Bar & Grill - Smurf Shot and a Miller Lite on the patio. - Seafood Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

So it's my daughter's birthday today, and I thought it would be nice to get out early and make a little bit of extra money via UberEats to do something fun. How silly of me. As it was my first pick up and also at 7AM on a Friday, I was hoping for an easy, pleasant experience. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I was directed by a miserable blonde(?) woman toward the other end of the bar to pick up the order, where I waited respectfully for at least 10 minutes, while she chatted and stood around doing absolutely nothing. Then she held up an open, dangling bag of food over the bar where I originally asked for the order. She spoke as if I was dumb for walking to the other side of the bar, tried to hide a laugh, but allowed her patrons to laugh at me. Would you tip for cold food? I can't understand what is funny about taking presents away from a 5 year old, but I'm so glad she is having a nice day. Please don't tip her. read more

Went there last Friday with a group of coworkers and we all ordered fish burritos and one person in our group found a piece of steel wool in his burrito. Pointed it out to the sever and she said it was from cleaning the fry basket. Nothing was done about it, nothing. Was our go to Friday lunch location. Not any more. read more

I was at patio bar and the blonde that was outside bar looked miserable! She sat in a chair and seemed so unhappy! I was here over an hour and she never smiled once. When she was asked for a drink she looked like it was a chore to make it! You would think a smoking patio would be a plus but not with the server you have. read more

Visiting from Chicago so keep that in mind. My uncle brought me and my two younger boys here (8 & 11) as we are visiting for spring break. I hate chains and when I'm from out of town, I want what locals are eating. Unc says it's some of the best food dive bar or not. We took a seat outside. Three of us got burgers medium and my little guy asked for a grilled cheese and they delivered. Food was fresh. Saw some reviews about being served food on paper plates. What difference does it make what your food is served on if the quality is there? Answer is, it doesn't. Staff was more than accommodating and friendly. I wish I remember our waitresses name because she was as nice as they come. Patrons were great. Couple tvs outside. We were never made to feel like we didn't belong. Honest to God the burger was fantastic and comes with pretty much everything and I added jalapeños. I haven't reviewed much on Yelp lately but this place needed another good review on here. I'll be back next time I'm in town. Q Bar delivers. read more

love the q bar!!!! my fiancé introduced me and i absolutely love it! i've been in for all the food breakfast , lunch & dinner at a dive bar ? yes please !! & dont knock it till u try it! q girls are always awesome ! the one with the broken hand and always has her hair in a bun (britt , i think) is our favorite! she makes the best cocktails , not to strong but mixed perfectly - goes down too smooth sometimes lol . anyways if you're in the area , you have to try it! read more

I love this place! Taco Tuesday is my fave, always get one of each. The servers are funny and make sure everyone is happy.

Service was great. Food was pretty good but not for the price. Price was outrageous. Plenty of seating. Will not be back because of price. read more

I come in a few times a month to get food to go and everyone is always friendly and the service is fast. Have to get to cheeseburger, 1/2 pound burger off the grill. read more

Great food and clean dive bar. Hunting and rustic theme, pool tables with outside tables for those who want to enjoy the fresh air. Tiffany was our attentive and friendly server. Wings were delish with several flavors available to select from. Burgers large, fresh and cooked to perfection. Large selection of beers and full bar including premiums. Lots of TVs to watch the games. Give it a try, clean and friendly. They serve breakfast until 2:00pm on the weekends. read more

First off, this place is a dive, and I mean a DIVE. Every animal is on the wall here. Their beer selection is abysmal, even for a dive bar....really, what kind of dive bar doesn't carry PBR? I had the fish, it was nothing special, the fries tasted like frozen fries, nothing special there either. I guess for a bar, it would work, but it's definitely not for my type. read more

What a shame - The place has totally hit rock bottom. We live right down the block and used to come here often for a bite and a drink but never again! Our most recent visit, a Rancid smell from a combo of stale beer and dirty grease traps punched us in the face as we opened the door. Next, we were served a bottle of beer with the label falling off cause it had been sitting in water for months - tasted skunked and a glass of red wine that had turned to vinegar! Our Corned beef was tough and burger was bland. Didn't even bother with the burnt fries. Bartender/Server was nice but, place was empty and we barely got checked on. Sad to say, another place that had so much promise has fallin' into the pit of restaurant neglect! read more

I've rarely seen such weak reviews of any restaurant/bar as for The Other Q Bar and Grill. The theme here has one person after another ranting about it being a dive, the stuffed animal heads and even the construction of the ceiling. What about the FOOD people? Did your Mercedes' GPS screw up again so you lost your way to Scottsdale and ended up here and had no idea why so you can only complain that it doesn't look like Mastro's? Guess what? It doesn't taste like Mastro's either! The food here is actually good and doesn't come out of a microwave. Somebody forced you to look at stuffed animal heads, you say? People! Do you have any idea what I'm forced to look at when I go to Olive Garden ... which is like never. Get over yourselves. We were there for a few hours and none of us could find one hint that The Other Q Bar and Grill is trying to pretend they are not a dive. They are a dive and a GREAT one at that. Most of us had the Friday fish fry and the (former) Buffalonians in the group were impressed how well it compared to the Queen City of the Great Lakes. Prices are reasonable; the service we received was fantastic (our waitress thanked us several times for making her laugh). AND, they play both types of music! Seriously, if you are turned off by stuffed animal heads on the wall; think for a moment that THEY have no choice all day but to look at YOU! Now that is a revolting thought ... read more

I absolutely love this place! I have been several times, always on a Tuesday to take advantage of their Taco Tuesday special. It's 3 tacos for $5 your choice of pork, fish or chicken (mix and match) My personal favorite is the fish. They serve you your tacos in corn tortillas with cheese melted on top, then it's off to the taco bar! Yup, you get to dress up your own tacos however your heart desires. The taco bar includes lettuce, cabbage, cilantro, diced tomatoes, green sauce and their baja sauce (delicious but very spicy!) You can't beat this deal... especially when you pair them with some of their ICEY (and I mean ICEY!) cold beer, which is served by the glass or pitcher. The last time we went my husband was not in the mood for tacos so he opted for their bison burger (added blue cheese crumbles and bacon) and it was delish! Our server, Pam, was a delight. She was very personable, very funny and made us feel at home. There are plenty of televisions inside as well as a pool table. Seating includes booths, high tops and the bar top inside. Outside on their full service, smoking patio (which is air conditioned!!!) there is a second bar as well as at least 10 more hightops. I believe there are also 2 more TV's outside behind the bar. And to those who feel the need to comment on the decor and refer to it as a dive, you need to hop in your car and head about 15 miles east. it's a place called Scottsdale... you can enjoy the company of your fellow douche bags there. read more

Where is Chuck? Is he still around, I know his wife died of melanoma. What happened to the one on Olive ave.

The hubby and I love coming to the Q. We haven't been to the original location on 67th Ave, but we prefer the Rose Garden location. The atmosphere is very laid back and I wouldn't change a single thing about it! We are able to have a couple beers or cocktails and enjoy watching the Broncos play on one of the many TVs. The Club is delicious or breakfast is YUM! read more

The Fish Fry on Friday night is awesome, hot, taste great, the fish is lightly coated cod nice large pieces. It is all you can eat too which is a bonus. Comes with coleslaw and French Fries. They also give lemon, malt vinegar, cocktail sauce and tarter sauce. We also had a salad enough to share nice and cold blue cheese dressing had nice large pieces blue cheese and the Italian dressing was very tasty we definitely enjoyed salad! read more

Agree that the prices a The Other Q Bar and Grill in North Phoenix are outrageous but the food is good. They make a good Philly Cheese Steak - that is if you can actually get them to give you the correct order. I haven't been back since I ordered a cheese steak and they gave me a fish platter for $15.00! When I told them, they told me they did not take an order for a cheese steak this evening. Really?! So they just brushed me off with a careless attitude. These guys behind the counter are apparently partying with the clients and are easily confused and very rude. Sad, you seem to be loosing clients left and right, but also seems like you don't care. With this attitude and service, I'm pretty reluctant to eat the food there now. I've seen just how dirty the servers can be at bar restaurants and when you have such a poor "I don't care" attitude, bleech! no thanks... too scary to eat from there. And you still owe me $15.00! read more

We have been coming here since they opened and the food & service have been consistently excellent throughout the years. It's a nice little neighborhood bar that we travel 25 miles to get to when we come. My Minnesota friends say this bar is typical of Minnesota - relatively dark inside with lots of dead animals on the walls. Being vegetarian I tune out the animals and focus on what I like best - the rest of the experience. My husband is a huge fan of the Friday all-you-can-eat night fish fry. He also loves the fried mini taco's as an appetizer. I don't eat any type of meat so I stick with grilled cheese (pepper jack on rye) and friend zucchini, which is always fantastic. Surprisingly, the salsa here is amazing, even better than many Mexican restaurants. The service is the best - fast & friendly and they always know how to take care of you whether you're a party of 1 or a group picky group of 8. There is an indoor (non-smoking) dining area and bar as well as an outside bar and seating area that allows smoking. They have done a wonderful job with the outside bar, which is fully covered, has climate control and great seating. Even on a chilly rainy evening November you will be comfortable out here. Pros: Fast & friendly service Fresh fish Menu selection with healthy options Salsa! (who would have thought?) Drinks made right Ice cold beer Fun atmosphere Inside & outside seating/bar Clean inside & out Cons: Because of all the pros, parking can be crazy on a Friday night, this place fills up fast! read more

Wasn't the worst place I've been too but it still has it's negative points. Took a little bit for someone to recognize we were even there and than the waitress was slow. The waitress than left and went home with out letting us know so that just seems weird to me. 35$ for two meals and two beers seems pretty steep. Oh and the bathroom were mote than unpleasant with the graffiti and the paint falling apart. The food was pretty good but not for the price I paid. All in all I'll just say cleanliness goes a long way. read more

I work within walking distance of this place and after several years finally checked it out for lunch. They were busy and I waited for 10 minutes before being recognized. Once the bartender/waitress came to take my order all was good. The staff I interfaced with were very nice. I've been told the fish fry was quite good so I ordered that. Within a few short minutes my lunch was brought to the table. The fish was a very good quality and the breading was pretty good. The coleslaw was good and the frys were just frys, nothing to brag about but quite edible. Since I was going back to the office I just had ice tea. It was freshly made and good. There are several televisions, enough for a sports junkie. There were a lot of dead animals on the wall, so Bambi lovers may not like the decor. I could almost imagine that I was in a bar up the in the mountains of northern Arizona. This is a place worth returning to. read more

The BEST walleye and other fish in town. The fish is not covered with thick, greasy batter. It is wonderful, BUT I HATE THE NEW THICK CUT SOGGY FRENCH FRIES.. I have thought of bringing my own thin fries!!! read more

I was here on New Year's Eve for lunch. This place is a dive bar with some residual stank left over from the days when smoking was permitted. There's an unfinished ceiling with exposed painted black rafters and numerous stuffed animal trophies hanging around. Frankly, there are so many that it's a little creepy. But the beer was cold and the burger was fresh so if I'm in the area I'd bite the bullet and do it again. read more

Great staff, food is mediocre...no air conditioning...would have been better if it wasn't so hit

I've never been out to eat where I've been served on paper plates and with plastic utensils. Unbelievable. . Burger was fine, fries sucked. My friends each ordered the pastrami, which it which was fatty and gross. They were barely able to finish their meals.. Definitely won't be returning. read more

Went here after checking it out on YELP and figured I'd give them a try. Worst decision I ever made. This place has a smell that can only be describe in one way, NASTY. I had one beer and had to leave. I looked up their restaurant rating on the Maricopa County website and the rating was a C, previous rating a D. Don't understand how they even have any customers left. I guess they don't eat the food. Last time I listen to someone that lives in this area about a place to go. read more

Hands down best bloody marry me and my husband have ever had. Go see Wendy Tuesday thru Sunday and try one.

Yes, it is a dive bar. Yes, there are animal heads on the wall. But the staff is great and they serve an awesome grilled pastrami panini (the New Yorker). The prices are very reasonable, the fish fry has a huge following, and who could ask for more than a climate controlled smoking patio? Give it a chance! read more

Wendy's my girl!!! She is such an awesome bartender literally made me want to come over to the Q everytime!! And I will be coming to the Q everytime!! lol as long as she's my bartender read more

Really good food which was unexpected from the dive bar appearance! Scallops were spot on and service was super friendly. Will definitely return! read more

We came in for brunch and had Wen as our bartender/server and had excellent service! She's a huge Arizona Cardinals fan and was creating a new shot for their promotion for the games starting on Sunday and had us assist her in perfecting the specialty shots that will be offered during the games. We had one of the best Sundays in a long time definitely suggest going there any day! read more

This place just isn't what it used to be. Newly hired on staff is a joke. One girl specifically doesn't dress as humbly as the rest. Only good thing this place still has is Linda and makayla (seasoned bartenders). Food is hit or miss on what it used to be but of course prices have greatly increased. I've notice a lot of regulars not spending time in here as much anymore and mainly speak of finding a new place. Also hard to find any service on the patio more specifically in the afternoon. Sad to see such a great family place turn around so bad. read more

I absolutely love this place!!! Can't complain about nothing. Very cheap drinks and amazing affordable food. The staff there is amazing!! I can literally go there everyday and never get tired of it. Also if you love fried fish every Friday and Saturday is ALL YOU CAN EAT FISH FRY, trust me this place is amazing. If you've never been make sure to put this on your list of places to go. I promise you will not be disappointed at all!!!! read more
