text: I wanted to like this neighborhood spot that does not get too busy but it just did not deliver Went in on a Sunday for a late afternoon lunch early dinner The place has a nice layout with plenty of TVs in the bar area and good upscale but very casual feel to it throughout I thought it was kind of odd that there was not a happy hour or any specials given it was during happy hour on Sunday in the middle of summer in Phoenix I understand places cannot give away their product but when you are competing against the variety of local spots vig postino north lgo etc for the locals during a typically slower time Sunday afternoon you should have some kind of perk to bring in the business But I digressnnI ordered the peppercorn burger which I was excited for as I have heard numerous good things about the grinds signature dishes It delivered an impressive appearance was a generous size and sure looked the part but lacked on flavor depth and just kind of left me shocked that so many ingredients and a higher quality beef could make such a bland burger The mac and cheese and french fry sides that I split with the other half were very good especially the very garlicky but well prepared mac and cheesennThis place is certainly not bad by any means but it left a lot be desired from a location I wanted to like Given the abundance of other options in the area this place will have to make some changes to get me to visit anytime soon
