text: Kristen herennKevin and I have been to Cadillac Ranch on several occasions and each time we walk away satisfied but never thrilled During our last visit we attended happy hour half off appetizers about PM on a weekday The place was slow I ordered a Mango Tango Margarita and Kevin ordered a beer of some sorts I am not a beer reviewer nor do I enjoy beer at all in the first place My margarita was pretty good I typically really enjoy fruity drinks ESPECIALLY mango drinks but this one left me feeling somewhat disappointed I cannot put my finger on it although there just may have been too much alcohol in it I would try something different next time nnFor the appetizer we ordered the soft pretzel with a cream cheese dip Amazing Simply amazing If it were not for this saving grace I would have rated Cadillac Ranch as stars The pretzel was perfectly golden brown and soft and the dip was creamy and only enhanced the flavor of the pretzel The pretzel and dip danced hand in hand on my tongue and all the way into my stomach Kevin agreed that this was a marvelous appetizer and for half off the price how could you not get this I would go back just to get an order of itnnFor our entrees I got the AZ Mac and Cheese This is my favorite dish I have found on the menu and I really enjoy it I do not particularly like spicy foods but this dish has just the right amount of bite This is a baked macaroni with pepper jack cheese and chicken I eat around the chicken though because I do not find that the chicken enhances the flavor of the dish Just the macaroni alone is great If I go to CR again and I probably will I will get this dish It remains consistent and very very goodnnKevin ordered the Phoenix Cheese Steak Word of warning do not make that same mistake I have had many cheese steaks in the past and I they never quite reach their potential see our Forefathers review they have the best cheese steaks I have ever had This cheese steak was completely underwhelming So underwhelming that get this Kevin did not even finish it If you know Kevin you know that he almost always finishes what is on his plate He agreed that the sandwich was disappointing According to Kevin there was way too much bread and not enough meat and the meat was dry I only took one bite and I was not impressed Do not get this item You will regret it guaranteednnWe will most likely revisit this place because it is in an ideal location right in the middle of Tempe Marketplace and the food is pretty good for the most part The atmosphere is cozy and inviting We have yet to witness the bull in action but I am sure that he makes the place come alive Here is to hoping that next visit will somewhat redeem this one
