Horrible experience. I work near by and have chose this location multiple times for breakfast. After my experience today I will not be returning. The server acted very distasteful and grumpy upon pickup of my order. I tipped her and when getting to my office to enjoy my food more than my experience it ended with the wrong order!!! Contacting management was worthless since all he offered to do is make up for the additional sauce not received with my order. I was treated as if I did something wrong. Considering the price of the food, it is not worth returning for another experience like this. Returning with the wrong order was the icing on the cake after being treated unpleasantly by the server.

Love this place! It is the best Brazilian steakhouse hands down. We went here without a reservation and got seated in less then 15 minutes. We had a drink at the bar and everyone was so friendly. The salad bar was clean and everything was always full. They had an assortment or cheeses, meats, roasted vegetables, and different ingredients to make a salad. The meat was amazing. If they didn't have what you want they would bring out what you wanted. If you want your meat well done they will put it back on the grill and cook it to how you like it.

Food was not at there best tonight 11/07/14. Food was cold the calm chowder was very thick like glue. Order CAME Out Wrong AND Was Cold. When we told the waitress it was wrong she seemed upset brought out the ticket and said "see this what you ordered so did I write it down wrong?" That was uncalled for over frinch fries really wow.

I dragged my friends here because I was sick and tired of going to the same places. It is definitely not the usual Scottsdale scene. Don't get me wrong, I love Old Town, but I needed something different. The first thing I did was walk up to the bar and somehow I ended up sandwiched between some guys there for a bachelor party. You know that's always fun. The bartender was amazing. Well, she was probably amazing because my friend has a way with the ladies, but I totally benefited from it. I love when I let the bartender decide what to make and they don't act put out or stare blankly at me with no ideas. Drink in hand, my friends and I decided to check out the back patio. We sat at a round table and watched people play corn hole. Is that what it's called here? I've only played it when visiting family in Indiana and that is what they call it. I really hate the name, so I hope there is a better one and maybe someday I will find out what it is. Anyway, The Lodge definitely attracts more manlier looking men. No cheesy button up shirts with metallic skulls and roses across the back or anything like that. I should warn you ladies though, I encountered a real jerk. He was of average height, for a woman and sat behind me at one of those round tables outside. He hit on any cute girl that walked by and asked for their numbers. Then, after they left he would laugh with his friend about how he was never going to call them. I wanted to turn around and say, "Hahaha, motherf*cker, they're only indulging you to be nice." I didn't because I recently decided to practice more restraint. The atmosphere is inviting and unpretentious and the people were open and friendly. I had a good time and I believe my friends did as well. I wouldn't go here if you want to see and be seen, I would go here if you want to kick back and have a somewhat casual drink with friends.
