Problem: Decided to check out Ground Control last night based on a reviews on AZ Central as one of the best wine bars.. I totally disagree. Service was terrible, one person I particular was rude when we interrupted time with his girlfriend. Had to ask for water, plates, napkins, check, etc. The wine was decent as well as a couple of appetizers. But pass on the cheese board... 3 small slices for $14. I was looking forward to the European concept but in Europe, they are more helpful and friendly...

Problem: I feel bad going with 2 stars. I feel like an angry patron or competing restaurant who is just vengeful. But I'm not, really I'm not. I'm a weary traveler. You see, I very much enjoyed my experience, but I was underwhelmed by everything but the beer (can't go wrong with a Two Hearted). The brussel sprouts were undercooked and under seasoned (coming from someone who uses very little salt). My entree was the "surf & turf" of pulled pork and scallops; namely: two crustaceans and a little pile of pulled pork beneath. I admit it: I was intrigued by the menu description; but was let down like prom night. Scallops (like the brussel sprouts) were undercooked (and I eat sushi so don't even think I'm not not fond of raw fish). The pork was the highlight I guess, but it was literally 4 fork-fulls. The service was fine and the prices were ok. Overall, not deserving of high praise. Oh and $3 draft Mondays would be the only reason I return.

Problem: Yummy, yummy, yummy barbecued pork ribs! I always get the Regular Ribs - 1/3 Slab Platter with a baked potato instead of the sides (which are blah). The corn on the cob and corn bread muffin that come with the Platter are delicious as well. My husband enjoys the Texas Beef Brisket. So far, I haven't found another BBQ restaurant in the Valley that's better! UPDATE: I still really like the BBQ here, but we prefer the Mesa Riverview location as it's less busy. Hmm, I'm downgrading from a previous 5-star. That was probably a bit crazy anyway. : )

Problem: Found out about Henry's via Yelp. First walked into the bar side, but being a nonsmoker, had to retreat to the restaurant side. Service was quick and friendly. Asked the waitress for her recommendation and she suggested the Hank or a Burger. Went for the Hank, and a Nut brown beer. Food and drink came quick. Large prime rib with lots of crunchy fries. Beer was good and nice and cold, not flat or warm. Generous amount of peppers and onions on the sandwich. Was hot fresh and tasty. Prime rib was cut nice with little fat but still juicy and tender. Only criticism would be that the bread got a little soggy. Ended up eating second half with fork and left bread. I would recommend Henry's to anyone that is looking for good food at a good price. Was not blown away, but was happy overall. I would come back.
