Tucked into…read moreSonora like a well-kept secret, this place serves up craft drinks with a side of literary charm and somehow makes it feel completely natural to sip a cocktail while thumbing through a novel. The staff? Absolute gems behind the bar, friendly, sharp, and clearly masters of their craft. They'll recommend a drink as easily as a good read, and somehow nail both. The vibe is what really strikes gold though. Between the shelves of books and the historic touch of the original cash register (which deserves its own drink special, honestly), the whole place feels like stepping into a story you don't want to end. Come for a drink, stay for a chapter... and probably another round.

Whenever we're in Sonora, eating at The Armory is a definite must! This place is huge. There is a…read morebar area to the left when you come through the entrance. The bar is impressive and a great way to be greeted. There is seating available if you want to grab a bite to eat while you indulge in a handcrafted cocktail. The entrance leads to an amazing outdoor area with a courtyard, lots of seating and more bar areas. There is an upstairs area that has views of Sonora, but also overlooks the outdoor area which is great for people watching. The Armory is family and dog friendly and it was great to see families and their fur babies enjoying the relaxing atmosphere. The menu has great appetizers to share, salads and bowls, tacos, sandwiches, and satisfying pastas + a delicious short rib plate. The drink menu is extensive - they have an impressive variety of barrel-aged bourbons, Irish whiskeys, scotch, rye, tequila, and mezcal and quite the selection of beers on tap, in bottles, and in cans. The wine list will have something for everyone. And the cocktails all looked amazing! We had the smoked pork nachos, ahi poke bowl, and the Rodeo Burger. Everything was tasty and came out quickly. The Armory is a must try!

I did not try it when they first opened as the demand at the new restaurant was always lines and waits. However this has quickly become one of our favorite places. They have all you can eat at dinner time for roughly $20/person. For lunch you get a one time go, rice, pot stickers (soup for dine in) and a drink for the same amount. The staff is super attentive; they quickly find out if you will be dining in or taking it to go so they can set you up a table. The produce is very fresh and they are constantly filling up the self service bar. During busy times their staff is constantly cleaning up the bar area where you fill your bowls with meats & veggies as well as the sauce bar. This place is well maintained. There are quite a few tables inside with informational signage around the dining area. They have restrooms available for customers. When you dine in, the staff is attentive to remove empty bowls/plates and filling your drinks. This was our first meal of the New Year - and it was delicious. Our lunch meals were such great portions we had enough for lunch on New Years and the day after.

There was one bowl in front of me so I'm not sure why it took so long. They definitely make their money by limiting the acye. The food was fresh and good but don't expect multiple bowls unless you are willing to sit there for two hours. The tables were a little dirty and the "appetizers" left something to be desired. It is wonton chips, a single potsticker, and white rice. It is good for the price but room for improvement

Last night my bestfriend & I decided to meet up at the Peppery for dinner. I arrived first and went in to get a table for the two of us. I was waiting in the entry area behind the "Please Wait to be Seated" sign. As I waited another party arrived and was waiting beside me. One of the servers came over walked past me and asked them for how many and took them to be seated. Interesting for me seeing as I had been standing there for a few minutes before they entered the restaurant, while servers walked passed me & those near the bar area made eye contact and went back to their duties. Another couple then came into the restaurant and were waiting beside me to be seated, a different server emerged and started walking towards us, she then asked if I had already been helped and got me seated at a table and got menus & drinks while I waited for my friend to arrive. Once she arrived our server got her drink order and checked to see if we need anything while we look over the menu. We noticed they have an updated menu with all the same favorites. My friend ordered the Angel Hair Pasta w/ Italian Sausage with a cup of soup to start, and I ordered the Garlic Roasted Ribeye with Jalapeno Cheddar Mashed Potatoes & Seasonal Veggies with a house salad to start. The food was good not quite as good as I had anticipated. My friends pasta was over sauced, too much sauce for the amount of pasta. My steak had too much demi glaze on it; I did wipe most of it off and I will order it on the side next time. My steak was cooked slightly under what I requested but still good. We were so stuffed that we did not even want to look at the dessert menu. I probably will go back, but I will wait a bit before we return.
