Well, first off, I was SO excited to try this place out in Chandler. As a resident of Chandler, and someone who frequents the DC area, I was happy to see a new brewery show up, especially one with a really cool outdoor patio concept. I was even more curious about how the service would be, because a month ago I visited Yoli's Cafe for breakfast and saw a bit of construction going on. I also, unfortunately, witnessed an employee (I'm assuming the owner) yelling and belittling a construction worker in the middle of the Perch while he was cutting plywood. It was a little unsettling to witness, and I actually felt embarrassed for all involved. Anyway, back to the Perch. We visited this past weekend with hopes of sitting on the rooftop patio. We were nicely greeted by a hostess who said she would put us on the list to get a seat upstairs. She offered us the opportunity to sit at the bar or the white couches until our seat was available. We decided to head up, and ordered one of the beers on the upstairs menu (oak creek Hef) and a glass of the $5 Pinot Grigio. We were told that they didn't have either of those upstairs, although it states clearly on the menu that they did. So, we headed downstairs to try again. I was initially very excited about the $5 wine, because that is a reasonable price. When I received my glass of wine I was shocked to see the under pour. It was not an appropriate amount...no matter how much the cost. Also, the beer we ordered downstairs was not cold. The person I was with ended up drinking a Michelob Ultra (at a craft beer place) out of a bottle instead of getting another warm beer from the keg. We endlessly waited to be seated after watching numerous people just walk upstairs and take seats at their leisure. We even asked the hostess and she didn't have much to say. We ended up just sitting on the white couches and further received subpar service. We met up with friends who again had to go downstairs to get their own drinks....a soda even! The food was ok, but also overpriced for the quality. Pizza was cold. One other issue we had was the HORRIBLE smell of a cigar right next to us. It was so bad and so strong, it ruined the food for us. I don't know how you can alleviate that situation, but one person smoking should not ruin the ambiance for everyone else. How about no cigars allowed around food?! Yuck. I'm disappointed in seeing the OWNER of a restaurant berating and criticizing patrons. We all came to the Perch for one reason: to have a good time! We WANT to see this business do well because many of us are from Chandler. I hope that the owner thinks twice about "burying" his customers on Yelp with negative remarks. Good luck!

Wing Stop is great. They have a lot of flavors to choose from. They sell chicken wings, chicken strips, fries, and veggies. Their chicken wings and strips are currently available in 11 different flavors. The menu board has them listed in order of spiciness, which is very helpful. My favorite is the teriyaki bone-in wings. They have lots of flavor and a dipping sauce is not necessary. They are finger-licking good on their own. I'm not into spicy at all, but if you are into the obnoxious kind of spicy, my friends have recommended the atomic wings. They are at the top of the spiciness scale, so have something handy to cool your mouth down with. I also love the fries here. They are soft and perfect for dipping if you get them plain. You can also get them loaded with a nacho cheese sauce and jalapenos. This particular location has never let me down when it comes to customer service. The staff is always happy and friendly. Never seen a frown on an employee here. Only downside is that this location is a little small, so it's hard to find a place to sit if you want to eat in.

Let me get this out of the way, the service can be quite slow and at times you might find yourself flagging down a waiter/waitress BUT DO NOT LET THIS STOP YOU FROM COMING HERE. This pub has the BEST pub food in the downtown core. Chicken pot pie is massive (it will have all the diners pointing at you, be warned), creamy and insanely delicious. The lamb and cheese burgers, served on pretzel buns with perfect complimentary toppings, are so juicy and flavorful. The bacon mac and cheese has HUGE PIECES of bacon in and on it. If it wasn't impolite, I would have licked my bowl clean. The cod tacos are more than filling. Last but not least, the rosemary seasoned fries... I could eat them all day. HECK even the desserts are good! This place puts many pubs to shame because they have a REAL chef who cooks delicious food. I'm not much of a drinker, but the food keeps me coming back (again, and again and again...)
