text: I have been passing by this place forever and finally had the time to go check it out Well it was a compromisehusband let us go out to eat so I can catch the last period of the hockey game Wife Ok but not another dingy sports bar VoilaThe Satisfied Frog nnThe front parking area was full so we drove around to the back I was a little sceptical at first and did not have a good impression with the ashtray right next to the door at least it was void of those sucking in fumes to satisfy their oral fixations seems every sports bar has this As we emerged onto a hallway containing the wash rooms and kitchen we spilled out onto a vast bright open space clean cheerful and there were families and women I was pleasantly surprised We were greeted with hello from all of the staff as I stood there looking around gasping at what I was not expecting A lot of the sports bars I go to are dingy and filled with questionable left overs from another decade but not here nnThere were TVs of all sizes purposely situated so that no matter where you sat you were going to watch the game The look was concrete meets rustic chairs were thick cuts of logs and interestingly the rugged highly polished wooden tables surrounding the booths and the bar were at different heights The lower family tables had redandwhite checker table cloths there is a name for themnow where is Martha Stewart when you need her And of course there were tons of frog figurines decoratively placed nnOur server who did not give us her namewhat is up with that was cheerful and friendly So as my husband went into hockeyzombie mode I took a peek at the one page menu typical bar foodfried green chillies quesadilla spinach con queso and deep fried zucchiniall of that is out for someone one like me with a gluten intolerance issue nnThe lunch and dinner menu is much the same with the average North American foods but with a wood smoker so it makes hamburgers chicken and pork taste better than most bars They also have a kids menu oh and fish chips They also have specials and today that was prime rib nnNot wanting to chance anything I went for the Prime rib and two sides potatoes and pork beans because they were home made and my husband had the pulled pork fries and beans As I waited for my food I snapped a couple of shots because this truly is a Women approved Mens Den Ok so not one guy was paying attention to their family or significant other but everyone seemed to be ok with thatincluding me I was happy with my Ipad checking out their websitennOur food arrived in a timely manner and it looked so good Here is the best partit was bloody good Brilliant It was like a foodorgasm Ok not a romantic dinner food orgasm but rather a pleasant late afternoon OMG nnYou have to understand that with the travelling I do I have yet to walk into a pub or bar and enjoy the food hence the little reviews The Prime rib was cooked to my specifications a true medium rare and not coated in sauce or spicesperfect The beans were exceptional and really tasted home made They were in a light yet slightly spicy sauce with an almost mesquite flavour and the potatoes were perfect I tried a little of the pulled pork and it was quite succulent it really did not need the extra barbecue sauce I have never in my years with my husband see him eat almost the entire meal nnI was so intrigued with our dinner that I just had to ask do they really home cook everything here Our server said they start early in the morning and cook everything Ok to me as a Nutritionist that means opening up frozen bags of food and cooking themnope everything is from scratch Music to a Nutritionists ears nnWell it looks like we have a new hangout for when cable just does not cover the game and I do not have to walk in wearing dark sunglasses and something from the s to fit in nnThe original Original Crazy Eds Satisfied Frog is in Cave Creek and maybe I will have to venture up there and check it out Deb and Dave are the owners of the Bell Road version once the cookss for the Cave Creek location You can sign up for text and email specials on their websiteok I am not going that far You can also purchase their hot sauce and get a free Tshirt if you are really into this place nnOk a total thumbs up I have rated this A OK and for some it might be FAN but I do not become a FAN of most places SO consider my A OK above average from a female perspective a foodie and a nutritionist and I must admit that I am with the frogs satisfied beyond belief
