The Rooster Tavern - Scottsdale

Really cool little you find this place. good eating, drinks and vibe.

First time visit an early dinner. Lively atmosphere and variety of ?offerings? on the TV screens overhead. Two of us ordered hamburgers and they were great. Beer was cold and staff were friendly and attentive. My second beer arrived just as the food showed up, thanks to the attentive waitress taking care of us (this can be a real challenge in poorly managed establishments, based on my experience). Interior has real personality, and the ?crowd? seemed like regulars who were really enjoying themselves. ?We?ll be back!?

The fish fry was delicious. I probably won?t order the pretzel bites again. They are more like chips. They were hard and not that great. It is bar food and the atmosphere was loud.

Right off, upon entering- I knew I would like this restaurant. I ordered the 3 meatball entree and an orange blossom. The atmosphere was nice and the music playing was like alternative/rock. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. The food was tasty and hot. My husband ordered the green chile pork. The meat was moist and soft. He said it was also flavorful.

Man. This place fills up fast at 5pm during the week. With a full bar, decent list of beers on draft, and a nice selection of pub food, it?s no wonder. I swear the waiter would have given me the shirt off his back if I asked for it. I got the Boursin Burger and my wife got the grilled chicken salad. The idea of grilled chicken didn?t sound appealing. They switched it out for the fried chicken that goes on the fried chicken sandwich, no problem. We also got the ceviche. I wish it had a bit more heat, but it was good nonetheless. Plenty of tv?s showing games and other related shows. The decor is awesome. We sat next to an old motorcycle. They also have a nice sized patio (which filled up fast as well). Sitting tucked in a popular shopping center with other great destinations makes this a great hangout. I look forward to trying other menu items.
