Best fried onion rings I've had. Â The only thing on their menu I'd eat were the fish tacos. Â They were alright. Â If they offered the option of changing any of their burgers to a veggie burger, I'd be here at least once a week. Â Sports TVs were all over. Â Normally I have to sit on the side that can't see the TV because my bf likes to watch sports. Â It didn't really matter where you sat, you could see the TV. Â That said, they didn't offer the HBO fight between Silva and what's his bucket, so we didn't stay one time. Â The time we did stay, the table near us had a screaming kid. Â We came in around late lunch time, but this kid was there before we got there and stayed after we left. Â He was screaming the whole time. Â I wish there was a way to keep screaming kids out of resturaunts, kind of like no smoking, no screaming progeny. Not the resturaunt's fault. Â I'll come back when I have a craving for frickin' brilliant onion rings. Â Otherwise, not worth it for this pescatarian.
Review Source:This is a really cool spot, and well worth checking out. Â The burgers are good and the staff is friendly. Â I highly recommend going on taco tuesday for happy hour and getting some of the carne asada tacos as they are completely awesome. Â Every time I've been it's been pretty busy, so if you want a spot at the bar come before the after-work rush...
Review Source:Extremely busy on Friday and Saturday nights. Â Hard to find seating. Â Nice beer selection and the burgers were good. Â Pricing was ok for the quality of the food. Â It was fairly noisy for conversation. Â Good views of the TV's to catch a game. Â Definitely worth checking out. Â Service was good especially for as busy as they were.
Review Source:Apparently this is the place to be on a Friday night in Gilbert because it was packed by 6:00pm. To my surprise, that didn't affect the service; our waitress was friendly, attentive and ready to serve! The service is 5 star, but the food we ordered was 3.75 stars.
We had a dz wings (honey hot grilled) that probably wouldve been better if we opted for the non grilled version. The grilled version was dry and OVER charred. In addition, the wings are on the smaller size. I'm used to ATL wings in Chandler...
On the bright side, we liked the calamari we ordered and noticed all the food at other tables looked VERY appetizing!
Will I return? YES! A place that crowded can't be doing everything mediocre.
We love this place. Â The food is great--portabello mushroom sandwich is great, fries are crunchy, blackened salmon is very good. Â Honey b-barbeque wings are good. Â Service is friendly and attentive. Â They make sure you know when happy hour is ending so you can order if you need to. Â Only negative is that wine list is non-existent and house wine is mediocre. Â Also can be noisy especially on Friday nights.
Review Source:This is one of the loudest, echoing sports bars I have ever been to; pretty bad when the first thing you notice when you walk in is the noise level and I have been here 3 times. Â Even if I am out to enjoy a game with my friends, I don't want to have to yell across the table at them.
The waiter was excellent and very friendly but I will not be going back.
If you have never been to Blue32, you have never had the Best Burger in Gilbert...oh Hell, in the Southeast Valley! I'm not talking about a burger with all the fixing's or smothered in mouth watering sauces. I'm talking about the taste and flavor of the burger alone! To me, a Burger is Good, when it doesn't need anything to make it better. Aside from my homemade burgers, these burgers are the BEST around! Tired of hearing about the Burgers? Blue32 is just a casual, great place to watch a game, have a Beer (or a few), and eat some delicious appetizers. The Hot Wings, Sliders, Chicken Quesadillas, Ahi Tuna, Calamari, and Onion Rings are all great, to name a few. The Tacos Al Carbon leave you wanting more and the Prime Rib Special (not on menu) was to die for! All in All, Blue32 is a great Sports Bar and Grill that specializes in serving quality food with friendly service. Two Thumbs Up...WAY UP! ;)
Review Source:We just showed up one Wednesday night and were impressed by this place. It was Wing Wednesday which was a pleasant surprise. Entrees were about $10 each, lots of HDTVs for the games, and a news ticker scrolling scores. The food was all good and worth returning for. I was glad that they weren't as obnoxiously loud as the place next door with the live music cranked up to 11.
The restaurant was clean and they had very nice bathrooms with floor to ceiling stalls with individual lights. I might be back for March Madness!
Classy, clean sports bar with great food and great service. I have been here many times and was just there again this past weekend. We had about 15 people in our party and we were seated right away. Our waitress, Dalice was very friendly and didn't miss a thing. Drinks were brought out quickly and the refills just kept coming. All the food orders came out in a decent time frame and not one person had anything bad to say about the food. I had the buffalo chicken wrap. The chicken was cooked perfectly and it had just the right amount of sauce on it. I am not a sports fan so I don't care about the TV's and the set up but I did notice that no matter where you sat you had a view of multiple TV's.
Another great experience at Blue 32!
If you're looking for a nice sports bar that is a step up from Natives or Buffalo Wild wings, this is your place. Â Natives and BWW are nice when you want the down and dirty bare bones experience like in your college days for wings and such. Â But now you're not in college, time to upgrade your sports bar and palate. LOTS of TV with lots of channels for sports. Â Big bar area with TVs or booth seating for just family dining. Â The menu for food is impressive, the burgers are big and juicy, wings are ok. fries are ok. Â But they have just a big menu for everything and the quality tastes just better then Natives or BWW. Â The beer selection is good, and for mixed drinks they're decent. Â And its CLEAN!
Pros:
-LOTS OF TVS (think wall to wall)
-good food (esp the burgers)
-big selections of beer
-spacious bar and regular dining area
Cons:
-CLOSES AT EARLY (or earlier than most)
- gets very crowded during big games so there might be a wait
-parking lot can get full real quick
We went to lunch here yesterday, after seeing a movie at the Harkins next door.
There was a 30 minute long wait to be seated, but we didn't mind. Â We like to try new places and we figured we might as well cross this place off of our list. while we were in the area
Once we were seated, we quickly looked over the menu and decided to order our food and drinks all at once to avoid too much of a wait (since the place as busy). My husband ordered the Philly Cheesesteak (sandwich) and a Kilt Lifter and I got the Patty Melt and an ice water. As our sides, we both opted to upgrade our fries and get the 'loaded' fries for an extra $1.
Overall the food was pretty good. Â My husband enjoyed his sandwich and we both very much so enjoyed the loaded french fries! Â My patty melt was a bit on the salty side, but it was still pretty tasty otherwise.
As far as ambiance goes, the place was a bit loud, but that was to be expected given that the Broncos vs. Ravens playoff game was on. We will definitely be back as it is definitely a nice alternative to the neighboring fast food chains in the area.
This place is great for football - they have plenty of screens and give you a TV layout of which games are on which TV. If you get there early enough, you've got your pick of tables so that you can watch whatever game you want.
The morning games are easier to get a table then the afternoon ones - when we left, there was a line out the door and people were pouncing on you to see if you were staying for the afternoon games or leaving.
The food was good too, and they serve a breakfast menu till 10:30.
Blue 32 is quickly becoming one of the "go-to" bars in Gilbert. The beer selection features local brews as well as the usual national brands (+ the ubiquitous Bud Light) and the menu goes way beyond the usual bar food. The wait-staff is well trained, friendly and helpful - but never give one the feeling as if they are trying to turn the table as fast as possible.
Review Source:The Atmosphere: Dark, modern, but welcoming. There are about ninety elevated flat screens, with every game and the omnipresent SportsCenter. The bar area is spaced out very well, so everyone is not right on top of one another. The bar is a good size wrap around type.
The Service: Excellent. Each time I've been in I've received personal service from friendly wait staff or bartenders. The managers greet customers as well, and the staff seems to be a great team.
The Food: Good. Nothing mind blowing, but above average. Fresh meat, good sauces, and good veggies. You don't come here for a culinary experience anyway, but you'll leave full and happy.
The Drinks: Good prices even outside of happy hour. Small tap selection, but this is Gilbert. They have chilled mugs, which is cool.
Overall: Blue 32 exceeds my expectations whenever I go in. All in all, it provides a cool sports bar contrast to the pub next door.
Blue 32 is our definite go-to sports bar AND restaurant - I cannot believe I have not written a review yet! Â The service is most often top notch (we've had a few misses, but that can happen anywhere). Â No matter where you are sitting, you can see a TV (or 8) easily. Â The food gives you cravings that keep you coming back.
Our favorite foods here:
Country fried chicken. My fiance is from Kentucky and his mother and grandmother were executive chefs. He knows good fried chicken and raves about it here (it's almost better than his). Portion is so large, we often split (along with an appetizer).
Boneless buffalo wings, hot. We get these literally every time we come. The breading is amazing. Sauce is perfect. Not a better way to start a meal at a sports bar. :)
Carne asada dinner. It may not be quite 5 stars, but it's a good 4-4.5 stars every time we have it.
Southwest Chicken Salad. Â I would suggest asking for it with romaine. I don't know why they don't just change the menu so it is standard, but you can't win them all, I suppose.
Burgers. 4 stars. Not perfect, but a good staple. We've had a few of them and have always been happy.
We have never had a bad thing to eat here. Â Oh, I take that back. Over the years, things can't be perfect but on that rare occasion that something wasn't right or didn't live up to our expectation, apologies were made and the issue corrected. Â Tonight, I had the pastrami sliders and a caesar salad.. Â the pastrami was fjantastic, not at all fatty. I was served 4 sandwiches which was a surprise based on the price and past experiences. I had only expected 3. Â
Glad we stopped in again and I know we'll be back again.
So we've been going to Blue 32 for years, and when they first opened, this was a 5 star sports bar, no question. Unfortunately with time the staff is slipping and food quality has gone down. Still a great place with great food, but it's gone from a "highly recommend" spot to a "good place to go".
If you're there to watch a game (yeah, I know...in a sports bar?...how odd...) they have tons of good TVs well located throughout the dining area.
Not sure what they do to the nachos, Â but they're like crack! In fact I'm in NA (Nachos Anonymous) to try and break the habit.
I hope they refocus and get back to what made them so popular...great food with great atmosphere, all in a sports bar.
Over the years Blue 32 has been in Gilbert I haven't found a single thing to complain about. The food is outstanding - every single time. The staff is friendly, wonderful, welcoming and accomodating. It seems the turnover is very low as the same faces have been serving for a long time.
Everything on the menu is awesome. Literally - I have tried everything.
And, best of all - it is superbly clean.
It gets very packed for games and Friday happy hour.
Blue 32 is a good sports bar, lots and lots of TVs, clean, nice decor The women's restroom is luxurious as far as restrooms in sports bars are concerned. Â The service is just okay.
Over Christmas they had these specialty drinks made with all the rich, decadent liquors. Â One of them was a martini with graham cracker crust on the rim of the glass - I had two of those holiday spirits, sooo good!
Was out with my friends for a night of fun, but we needed to stop and get something to eat & just chat, so we wound up at Blue 32, never been here and what a nice little find. Great sports bar with lots of big TV's , do you know how many sports bars I have been in that had tiny TV's that the only people who can watch it was the ones at the bar, left me thinking what's the point. Â But here in Blue 32 didn't matter where you sat, you could see the TV well! Oh yea!
Our server was Katie and she was good at making sure our drinks were filled and that we were happy! Thanks Katie!
I ordered the pastrami sliders came with pickle and had mustard on the bun with an order of fries. I am a pastrami lovin fool and these were good little sliders, but were light on the mustard, but asked Katie for a side and she brought me out a bottle! Nicely done! Â
Look forward to coming back and trying out different things!
We ended up here to watch the Packers/Giants game. Total random choice, and not a bad one! We had to wait a few minutes for a table, nothing major, and the food being delivered as we waited all looked delicious!
Our table had a variety--burgers, sandwiches, sliders, mashed potatoes, fries, beer, soda, a bloody mary, and a long island. No bad choices or bad reviews.
Service was good (Clint), quick on the refills, and checked in on us several times. Good atmosphere, every table had a view of at least one tv.
May have to go check it out for a hockey game?!
I love how every category of the menu has some form of buffalo chicken. Â Buffalo chicken wings appetizer, buffalo chicken salad, buffalo chicken sandwich, buffalo chicken wrap... Â Of course, there are lots of other salads, sandwiches, wraps, and dishes on the menu, but they had me at buffalo chicken.
I got the wrap and thought the buffalo sauce added a nice bit of flavor, but wasn't too hot. Â The blue cheese in the wrap is delicious, but does take over a bit, so I'd only recommend this if you are a big blue cheese fan. Â I got the wrap with steak fries which were nicely seasoned (i.e. salty, but not too salty).
The service was great and the restaurant in general felt very clean and kept up. The bathroom was seemingly luxurious for this sports bar type of atmosphere. Â There are 3 stalls in the ladies room with real walls and doors separating them. Â Nice baby changing station in the stall by the sink.
Just got back from Blue 32 and realized I probably made a mistake by going during a Cardinals game on my first visit! Â We got there at 5:20 and the wait was almost an hour. Â
When we did finally get seated, my son was very hungry so I went ahead and ordered his food as soon as the waitress came to take our drink order. Â I was really pleased that it took less than 10 minutes for his food to come out, even as busy as they were. Â The mini hamburgers were a little greasy but they had a lot of flavor. Â The fries were seasoned and really good.
It took a little bit for the waitress to come back to take my order - an 8 oz sirloin, med rare, with sides of steamed broccoli & smashed red potatoes. Â When I got my dinner, I was disappointed to see that it was cooked more medium to medium well than medium rare. Â I was even more disappointed after I took a bite because it was a great cut with little fat and well seasoned. Â I really wish they hadn't damaged it because it probably would've been great. Â The broccoli was fine but I found the smashed potatoes too greasy and over salted, it was like they'd been sitting in butter for while before being served.
After dinner we ordered the brownie ala mode. Â The brownie was pretty decadent, any chocolate lover would be very pleased. Â The ice cream was just mediocre though - like a store brand instead of haagen-daaz.
On a side note, I agree with others there wasn't much in the way of happy-hour food specials, but domestic drafts at $2.75 are a fair deal.
I will definitely give this place another shot because the atmosphere was great, a lot of TVs for watching sports and a good crowd, and I think the food has potential when it's not as slammed.
I've been to Blue 32 twice now... after my first experience I didn't want to review until I had a more complete picture. And here it is....
The first time I went, it was about 9pm on a Friday night. My boyfriend and I were at a dinner party beforehand and weren't ready to call it quits, so we stopped at Blue 32 for a couple beers. The place was nearly empty. We were 2 of about 10 people in the whole place and it was only 9pm on a weekend! So, needless to say, the atmosphere wasn't up to my expectations- very quiet for the time of day we were there.
The last time I went, I met up with some friends for a Monday night Cardinals football game. Good thing a friend got there early to grab a table because the place was crowded. We sat in a booth, had some drinks, talked, and had dinner. I have a weakness for spinach artichoke dip, so when I saw it on the menu, I knew it had to be mine. Oh what a disappointment... it was very greasy and the bread that came with it was hard and almost chewy. The other people at the table got chicken wings and nachos and they were both decent, but nothing to rave on Yelp about.
I'd go back, but only because it's so close to my house.
Lots of TVs and comfortable seating.
time for an update, I come here to do some chillaxin. relaxed atmosphere and plenty of TV's to watch your fave game. I am still lovin the tacos al carbon, which is carne asada tacos, served with rice, small side of queso, salsa. Excellent quality and oh so yummy, and I am sure it's a top secret ingredient. I give props to Lindsay, the best server west of the mississippi. I enjoy this place so much
that I had to bump up one star, for the ambiance, staff, and tacos. I hope they keep it up.
I really expected crappy food, because, after all, that's what sports bars generally offer. Â Then I was told that the food was not bad, but good! Â Which only made me eye my table mates suspiciously. Â I ordered the tacos al carbon which comes with cilantro lime rice. Â these are three street taco sized dealies that have steak in them and come with a little shot of pico and queso.
Now like I said, I expected crap. Â But the tacos, with pico and queso poured on them, and grease dribbling out into a glorious puddle on the plate, were really amazingly good. Â The steak bits were really tender--ordinarily in such a taco they'd be the tenderness of jerky. Â Really: the tacos were totally sensational.
Also, we ordered a buffalo chicken flatbread which is essentially a pizza. Â And it was great! Â even with the bleu cheese, which I detest, this was a culinary delight.
So why the four stars, you ask? Â two reasons. Â One: the cilantro lime rice is offensively bad, like straight out of a box of rice-a-roni bad. Â I would have preferred kibbles and bits as a side item.
And one other thing: it was happy hour and for a while they were serving beer OUT OF PITCHERS THAT WERE IN THE REFRIGERATOR INSTEAD OF STRAIGHT OUT OF THE TAP! Â Capital crime. Â Felonious. Â In fact, Dante wrote about a circle of hell where all they did was serve beer out of pitchers instead of straight from the tap.
So you should know that although the beer serving would usually be a four star deduction and I'd never look back, I didn't drink beer tonight and so I really don't care if my table mates suffer. Â But if you try that shit on me...
Four stars. Â The food is really damn good.
Really good atmosphere, and the staff was surprisingly cordial and welcoming. Â One of the wait staff came over, while we were waiting for our table, and asked us if we wanted something from the bar. Â We were seated shortly after having our drinks hand delivered.
We both ordered the ribeye entree, after hearing great reviews from a coworker.
The accompanying smashed potatoes were crispy on the outside, soft & tender on the inside. Perfectly salted and parmesaned (can you use cheese as an adjective?).
Big stalks of broccoli, buttered, but undercooked, almost raw.
Black & blue coleslaw was very good. If you like blue cheese then you'll love this. Looking forward to trying it on a pulled pork sandwich.
Their ribeye was bursting with flavor. Tender & juicy. NOT what you'd expect from a neighborhood sports grill. The flavor rivaled Houston's. I can't say enough good things about it. We ordered it medium-rare, more on the rare side.
The manager came to check on us twice. Â Once when we had to return my wife's steak, as it was overcooked. Â He was very accommodating and had the replacement out in record time. Â With steak, sometimes this happens, but it is how you remedy the situation that makes for a great experience.
I highly recommend Blue 32.
We noticed this sports bar open a couple of weeks ago so we decided to try it out. Â When you walk in the place is very impressive. Â They have TV's everywhere. Â It seemed like the worst seat in house would have at least 5 tvs to watch. Â They had a pretty good beer selection and they carry many more beers on draft than just light beers. Â
My wife ordered the coconut shrimp for her entre (an appetizer), and the edamame for an appetizer. Â I got the Philly Cheesesteak. Â The food was pretty good. Â I really liked the fries that came with the Philly Cheesesteak. Â
Another thing I really liked was that if an employee walked by and noticed you had an empty plate or if it looked like you needed something they would help you out. Â The waitress was not the only person who seemed to care about how you were doing. Â I really hope they keep this up. Â
Overall I definitely will be a repeat customer. Â Gilbert needed a place that was nice, laid back, good food, and good beer.
