My husband and I love this place. Â I think it's Tuesdays when kids eat free and our kids love it, but usually we go by ourselves for a quick bite to eat sans children. Â It's not a chain and we LOVE that it's a locally owned business. Â The couple who own it are from Washington state and there are quite a few WA loyalists who frequent the place. Â The owners are friendly and always have time for a quick visit no matter how busy they are. Â You have to try the olive burger and the garlic parmesan fries, they're to die for! Â You have to look for this place, though - it's tucked away behind CVS and AutoZone!
Review Source:Tucked away behind a CVS, this truly is a little cove and surprisingly good. I almost don't want to give away this hidden gem because there's not much seating.
Fish & chips are delicious. The fish is meaty and lightly breaded. The accompanying tartar sauce is so tasty, I dip my fries in it.
The beef in the steak quesadilla is reminiscent of carne asada you would find at an authentic carniceria. It comes with perfectly scooped mounds of sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo on the side.
We love the Cove Grill.
We happened upon it once using a Groupon coupon. We are now regulars and enjoy taking family and friends to this cozy and fun establishment.
I enjoy walking in and Brianna knows our drink orders by heart, and always makes us feel welcomed.
I LOVE the buffalo chips! The burgers are great! The salads are tasty and the wraps are a plus on the menu. We like that they will make any sandwhich into a wrap as well.
I would like to attend a happy hour some evening, the Sandpail drinks look fun! Picture the lil plastic sand pail you used as a child or that your child uses at the beach...fill it with white liquors and mixer and there you have a fun adult beverage!
Thanks Robert and Brianna for always providing amazing service at a reasonable price!
See you soon!
My husband and I love this place. It's tucked away and doesn't have a sign yet, but it's such a great place. Every meal I have had has been really good. I have stuck with the wraps mostly, and the Southwestern Wrap is heaven, probably the best wrap I have ever had. The wings are great too, just the kicked up basic. The wait staff is always really good even when it's busy, and the drinks are great! If you haven't tried it yet, you must. I know there was a place before it, but it's not anything like it!
Review Source:We went here because I bought the $10 for $20 worth of food / drinks Groupon thing.
The food was pretty decent. The cottage cheese dip stuff sounded interesting so we got it and it was very good. My girlfriend got the shrimp tacos and she liked them. I did the buffalo chicken salad. It was good too.
So why am I only giving it 1 star? Because they only honored $10 of the $20 Groupon. So basically I paid $10 to get $10 off of my bill.
We came here to watch a game with some friends and we had a fun time. Â It's a convenient neighborhood restaurant with a bar. It is family friendly. Â The hot wings were some of the best I'd ever had- real meaty and the sauce was perfect, the BBQ flavor wasn't that good but everything else was delicious. Â You have to try the fried mushrooms- awesome! Â Great selection of beer and friendly service. Â Wecwill definitly come back.
Review Source:Went for a few drinks here on a Saturday night and had a very nice time. Bartender was pleasant, drinks were good and we met several folks from the neighborhoods nearby..one couple even rode their bicycles over! Â Very laid back place. I actually like the burgers and the yummy potato chips. Location is hard to find. Look for the CVS and you'll find Boatzhouse behind it.
Review Source:This is the kind of place my husband and I have wanted around since moving to Arizona 4 years ago. This place is such a  nice neighborhood bar and grill. The kind of place where everyone knows your name! Show up there on a Friday night and the place is buzzing with the locals and everyone mixes and mingles.
We've eaten here several times and every dish we have had has been very good. My favorite is the Greek Salad and my husband loves the burgers. They have daily specials and we have tried some really good dishes. The portions are perfect and they will customize the food. I had the Philly Steak in a wrap and it was the best.
The staff is very friendly and the service is great. We have gone a number of times, and will return as often as we can. We like to go on Friday nights and are enjoying getting to know a few of the neighbors.
You cannot really see them from the road ... they are tucked in behind the CVS and worth checking out.
A small neighborhood bar and grill. Â A very open atmosphere, with a friendly staff. Â It has a real sense of a neighborhood bar and grill. Â Someplace you could go every Friday night, and see some of your neighbors, and maybe get to know a few folks. On a busy night, I almost get the sense someone is going to yell, "Norm" when people walk in the door.
A few items from the regular menu that I have tried
The chopped salad is good. Â Not your run-of-the-mill, bar food salad. Â Has a bit of flare to it. Â Their boneless buffalo wings are a good value. Good portions, and priced right. Try the Bruschetta, a different take on the traditional offering, with chopped olives. Â All items are priced right. Â
Each night they offer one or two specials. Â My husband ordered the Sirloin, it came with mashed potatoes and a mixed vegetable side. Â Not a canned mixed vegetable side, but real mixed veggies like carrots, green beans and brocolli. Â The sirloin was prepared well, and had good flavor. Â Very much like eating at home. Â
I ordered a Bean and Ham soup. Â It was awesome. Â Very hearty and full of good things: Â carrots, chunks of ham, northern (white) beans. Â A large portion , and I took leftovers home.
Worth checking out. Â It is tucked in behind the M&I Bank
Preformed beef patties probably purchased from Costco does not bode well with me. Â
When your menu only has about 15 different things to offer one would expect that you are an expert in these items. Â You would be wrong in this situation. Â 4 starters, 3 salads, 5 sandwiches and a few sides is not a lot to choose from. Â Maybe if I mention the kids items I could "up" the number of menu items. Â But I will not.
We opt for water with lemon in every restaurant we dine. Â Here we got the saddest little slivers of old lemon I have ever seen. Â I guess lemons are a premium citrus and cannot be spared.
The gentleman that took our order, 10 minutes before his tee time, suggested my mom try the Fajita salad as "it is the best salad on the menu". Â My poor mom ended up with a cup of lettuce, a teaspoon of pre-shredded cheddar cheese, a tablespoon of sour cream, a tablespoon of pico de gallo, 4 black olives and a fried . . . . . something or other (couldn't place it and didn't attempt to taste). Â She asked for extra pico as it required flavor in a bad way and was presented with just one more tablespoon in a small ramekin.
I had the burger.  I asked for it medium and got well done.  I didn't ask for it to be redone because looking at the preformed patty i  knew there were only two choices with these; frozen or done.  The bun was good and would have been perfect with a fresh hand formed beef patty.  I had to pay extra for the fries, they were okay.
I'd like to say that there would be no reason for me to return, but I left my check card there and had to go back to retrieve it. Â Unfortunate for The Boatzhouse that will be the last time I return, unless I forgot anything else. Â Wait, where are my car keys . . . . . .
