I recently visited GTC after a high school basketball game with some friends and while we had a good experience I wanted more. The atmosphere is great. Dive bar feel that is clean and has charm and a great neighborhood vibe. The band in the corner didn't drown out our conversation and played old country music that was fun and upbeat. Our waiter was great offering suggestions and checking in on us regularly. Where the disappointment came in was our food and drinks. We ordered sliders, quesadilla, and the Philly cheesesteak. All of them were "fine" with the sliders being more bread than slider and same for the Philly. The quesadilla was the best of the options and had lots of ingredients packed in. Our drinks were also less than ideal as they seemed to have zero alcohol. If you are gonna drink go with beer since what you see is what you get. Cocktails were short pours and watered down. I even called them out after the first one and nothing changed with the second so I stopped donating. At the End of the Day, Good Time Charlis is not a bad stop and I'm sure the regulars are die hard. So if you go, let me help in my experience and simply order a quesadilla, beer of choice, and listen to the band...the best part of the night.

Before our dinners ever came, we had 3 people check in on us to see if we were ok for refills and anything else you can think of? So the customer service was awesome! My wife ordered a Turkey Bacon sandwich I ordered a Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich. My wife told me about 2 bites in that we would be back. For my chicken sandwich, I'm a fan. Before this my favorite chicken sandwich was from a restaurant that closed about 20 years ago. I order chicken sandwiches everywhere I go. This sandwich was better than any chicken sandwich I've had in over 20 years. It was better than the one I used to have. I told her we were coming back tomorrow but she said no because then it wouldn't be special. This place is an perfect sports bar, we will be back a lot. Just gotta figure out what kind of reception we'll get if we come in our Green Bay Packers gear!

It was a larger too, lots of space to move around. I was a little late and everyone had already ordered and started eating food. I shared some food with my friend. I tried the potato skins, deep fried cheese curds and deep fried fish. None of this was terrible, typical bar food. The negative part of my experience was our server. She was not nice and I always felt like I was inconveniencing her every time I asked for something. Her responses were always short and annoyed. I wish I remembered her name. She is the main reason I will not come here again unless it's with work friends (as this is conveniently located for all of us).

The inside has many seats with comfy couches as well. The beer is top notch for multiple palate attractions. The many arrays of lagers, IPAs, light pilsners and ciders allow for any tastebud to have a great experience. Food options are all around, while you're able to indulge in some food trucks, bring in your own, or free popcorn in the corner that has so many spices to choose from to top add. My fave is the Ole Bay. Cans to go are available as well. To top off this amazing experience, the service is suuuuper friendly! Always looking to come back even if I live right down the road!!

The L-shaped bar seats 15 people and there are six high tops that seat six people, three picnic tables outside for eight people each, and a long couch inside for four people to chill. My beertender was very friendly and accomodating. He gave my dog Hansel a bowl of water and a biscuit. This is a very dogfriendly taproom. Both beers I had were very tasty. My first pint was a Hefeweizen. It had a slight waxy mouthfeel. My second pint was an oatmeal stout. At 7.3% ABV it was a tad strong, but it went down very smoothly. I snacked on some free popcorn but it was seasoned with a strong spice. Thankfully I could help myself to the water fountain. I enjoyed the ambiance and will be back.

The totchos were great, I ate more than my stomach appreciated. My husband ordered a fried chicken sandwich with marinara and a cold beer. I did not ask him how his meal was, but his sandwich disappeared pretty quickly so im assuming it was tasty. The woman running trivia was delightful, with a fantastically dry sense of humor. At one point she mentioned she once got to see Prince and touched his ankle. Long story short, I have now touched the hand that touched Prince's ankle. We made it through 7 rounds of trivia and somehow WON! A crowning achievement of year 37 of my life, for sure. This win earned us: a $25 gift certificate to the lovely Sawtooth Bar & Grill establishment, a rubber ducky of our choosing, a crystal pendant (optional), and 1 week of ownership of the trivia night trophy . We did not trust ourselves to remember to bring back the trophy, and I did not trust some of the fellas to bring it back in one piece, so the bar staff graciously took custody of it until next week's trivia night. The bar itself is super cozy. Nice low lighting, small place but you don't feel cramped. Lots of TVs and a few arcade games. My husband and his BFF frequent this spot and tell me wonderful things about the owner. With the decor, setup, menu and general ambience, it feels like a Midwestern bar more than one in AZ. All in all, I really enjoyed myself and will happily return for another trivia night. If the staff ever happens upon this review, I apologize for the conjoined twins that are my husband and his best friend Scott. They're like a couple of labradors out on a play date when they're together. Thanks again for the fantastic evening, Sawtooth!

I got the Cajun pasta (comes with chicken and sausage). great flavor and portion size. wouldn't have minded a little more Cajun spice though. dirty martini was on point. just the right amount of brine and went down smooth. 30+ TVs, so you'll be able to see one no matter where you sit. outside TVs could be set a little brighter to be better visible in bright sun. service was fast and accurate with a smile. will definitely go back next time I'm in town.

We walked in just before 430 and the place was packed. That was totally unexpected. Not sure if its always like that or if it was because of the NBA finals. There are large screen TVs everywhere and all playing some sport on it. There was music playing too. With all the people, TV's and music it was very loud to say the least. Our server was super attentive and nice. I ordered the southwest eggrolls that came with a ranch dipping sauce (it was not traditional ranch but I forget what our server called it). It was $5 for my order. These eggrolls were AH-MAZING! The ranch was amazing too! Our server said all their dressings and sauces are made in house which you can definitely taste. My order came with three eggrolls cut in half and I was full after 2. They were very flavorful and not spicy at all. I would order these again in a heartbeat. I tried a friends guacamole which was really good and also not spicy. I would love to see chips and queso on their menu. They had chips and salsa and chips and guacamole but no chips and queso. Also, and the only thing that bothered me is they don't print your check. They hand you their handheld POS device and stand there while you tip them. I don't know if the suggested tip includes tax or not because they don't print your check. I tip on the cost of the meal before tax but this process they have doesn't allow me to do that.
