I wanted to like this neighborhood spot that doesn't get too busy, but it just didn't deliver.  Went in on a Sunday for a late afternoon lunch / early dinner.  The place has a nice layout with plenty of TV's in the bar area and good upscale but very casual feel to it throughout.  I thought it was kind of odd that there wasn't a happy hour or any specials given it was during happy hour, on Sunday, in the middle of summer, in Phoenix!  I understand places can't give away their product, but when you're competing against the variety of local spots (vig, postino, north, lgo, etc) for the locals during a typically \"slower time\" (Sunday afternoon), you should have some kind of perk to bring in the business!  But I digress...\n\nI ordered the peppercorn burger which I was excited for as I've heard numerous good things about the grind's signature dishes.  It delivered an impressive appearance, was a generous size, and sure looked the part, but lacked on flavor, depth, and just kind of left me shocked that so many ingredients and a higher quality beef could make such a bland burger.  The mac and cheese and french fry sides that I split with the other half were very good, especially the very garlicky but well prepared mac and cheese.\n\nThis place is certainly not bad by any means, but it left a lot be desired from a location I wanted to like.  Given the abundance of other options in the area this place will have to make some changes to get me to visit anytime soon.
