This bar was alright. We went with friends to watch a UFC fight, not my idea. The bar is newer and in a nice shopping center, but a total dive inside.
There are two sides, the indoor, and the "outdoor" area, which is sort of indoors. Basically it's a room with bars instead of windows, so it's sort of open, but still a closed off room, if that makes sense. Anyway, it was hot out there, inside there is air conditioning, but not out there. People can smoke cigarettes in that room since it's "outside." That room also contains a pool table, dartboard, arcade games, and a poker table.
Our waitress was on top of it all night. The drinks were cheap, we had five drinks for $22. The bathrooms were pretty clean for a dive bar, much better than I had expected.
McDuffy's is my hang out...just like Cheers... Everyone knows your name!!! Service is great... Never waiting on a beer...food is great....grilled honey chipotle wings....burgers....sandwiches.... All salad dressings are home made.... Nachos are huge.... Kudos to all the staff!!! You are all awesome!!!!
Review Source:Absolutely the worst food ever...even beyond normally bad bar food.
Had a pizza that sounded good. Â Wrong! Â The dough was disgusting, thin and soggy in the center. Â AND...Get This: Â The sausage was cheap breakfast sausage cut up...I just had to laugh at how disgusting it was.
I would say that it may be ok for a few beers and a game...but do not have the food.
I rarely rate anything 1 star. So I promise, this is not an exageration. It was really just this bad. I see that some other people have had the same experience so I would think twice about coming here. Don't say you haven't been warned! As some others, we came here to watch the fights. It's free, there's lots of seating, generous parking, and they had a pretty good menu. There weren't too many people and a lot of staff, so naturally, we thought service would be prompt and friendly. Not so much. We waited for everything. For a waitress. For the drinks we ordered. For the napkin I asked for. For the menus so we could order. For the waitress to come back to TAKE the order. By the time we placed the order, we just ordered 2 more beers each since our glasses had been empty...during a 3 hour fight...for about 15-20 minutes. Now if servers were walking around serving people, taking orders, delivering food, etc. then I could understand. But the waitresses were literally standing in the corner, 2 or 3 or 4 at a time just hanging out and chatting while we waited to flag someone down to get a refill! So wait. I am getting to the best (or worst?) part. We ordered food. Should be a pretty easy task. I kept it simple so I thought and requested a burger. Medium to medium plus please. Just no blood, I said. With a smile. So after waiting (we had gotten used to this) my boyfriend got his food. I was still waiting and then my burger came. On a soggy, wet bun. Not done. Red and bloody. EKkk. Ok, no big deal. With a smile again, I asked if they could just cook it a little longer. The cook (who the manager told me was "new") microwaved the burger, lettuce and all, Â through it back on the same soggy disgusting bun, and then served it to me! The outside was tough and charred, the inside, you guessed it. Still red. Lettuce now wilted. My boyfriend ended up asking our waitress if SHE would eat that, to which she made a grossed out face and said Absolutley not! This story basically ends like this. Manager comes over, appologizes, does not offer to take the food off my bill but I had to ask. She asked if I wanted something else and by then, the fights were almost over and we were definitely over this place. It's just too bad that this was my first experience here. I'm sure they probably don't screw up that bad every time, but for me, one time is all I care to risk.
Review Source:Don't go here for lunch!
At noon on a Thursday the place was almost empty of customers, except for three tables of older gentlemen nursing sodas and watching TV (the waitress says they're there a lot). The place is cavernous, very loud, dark, with all the ambience of an auto-body shop.
The server was new, untrained, didn't know the menu, prices, specials, completely overwhelmed. She was alone, having to cover the inside and the distant patio.
House burger was good, although it took a while to arrive. Maybe at night, with a sports crowd, this is an okay place; but definitely not for lunch.
Absolutely terrible place to be for the UFC fights. I took my fiancé there on a Saturday night for UFC Jones vs Evans and we were so disappointed. First you pay a cover charge, which is no biggie, but if I pay a cover charge, I want more than 1/3 of the TVs to be on the fights. Ridiculous. The waitress was terrible. She was constantly forgetting things and treating us like nothing. The food. The food was unbelievably bad. Even for a bar, that was nasty. I asked for a cheeseburger medium well and got a burnt up patty with NO cheese. This place was the biggest waste of money. With what we spent here we could have ordered at home. Please, do not go here to watch UFC. They may be semi decent any other day, but for UFC nights, absolute garbage!!
Review Source:Its not a bad rendition of the original spot on Ash in Tempe (I think the old owners might've sold out or kicked the bucket), but this place did the trick. Was out cruising some property out in the boonies and stumbled in for the last part of happy hour and had a pretty good time. The Coyotes were playing Detroit and I made a few bucks on some quinellas at Hollywood Park, which paid for my (so-so) hot wings and beer. Its nowhere close to what that original location was, with the Bash on Ash and all that college town vibe, but still, I might be back.
Review Source:I live within walking distance to this resturant and myself and my family have gone there at least a dozen times over the past few years. It's great food with great entertainment on the numerous TVs around the resturant plus the video games here and there through out the resturant is an added bonus.
Only a few times have we been disappointed by the wait staff but all in all we've been happy with the service overall and the food.
I went Saturday night to watch the UFC fights. I keep trying to find the right place to watch the fights. This IS NOT the place.
I asked the waitress to take one of the buffalo chicken wraps they offer and make it a sandwich. FAIL!!
I asked for an ice water. FAIL!!
I asked for a mixed drink. FAIL!!
I asked for a Dr. Pepper. FAIL!!
I asked for my appetizer to have no bacon. FAIL!!
The service was awful. Terrible. Horrendous. If this was their idea than SUCCESS!!
I will never again try this place. Nothing was even average about it. The fights were only shown on 1/4 of the tvs. Horse racing was shown instead. Even the ASU/UofA game took a backseat to horse races NO ONE was watching. They made very little attempt to make sure they are satisfying their customers.
What's not to love? Great food, always something good on one of the zillion HD TV's and the staff rocks. Everything I've eaten has been great. Get the chicken chimi's you will not be let down! Also the chili is bomb!
What else do you need to know? Great drink specials. Every sport (NFL Sunday Ticket!) you want to watch including the big fights. They even have a free shuttle service if you've enjoyed yourself too much. (or just enough!)
It's a good bar to hang out in and have a couple beers. Good beer prices and I love that they have NTN trivia. I usually just have some beers but I have eaten there a couple times and the food is actually pretty good bar food. There are always a lot of guys in there betting on horses and hanging. I'd give it 4 stars but in reality it's your average neighborhood bar to hang out in and nothing special. I like it.
Review Source:I haven't been there in a long time, and after last night I will never go there again. Â The salad was WARM, low-quality bun used for sandwich, the pastrami was dry, the onion rings tasted like they were burned. Â And call that other stuff something else (listed in the menu as 'coleslaw') because it's nowhere near what it claims to be. Â Our server was higher than a kite. Â Could not get a blended margarita because their blender was broken (what?? a bar without a blender?). Â The food truly made me sick with continuing visits to the bathroom.
They get the one star above because they have lots of TVs.
Service is okay, sometimes you'll get ignored forever... Â However food is always the same. Â Â It's about the same quality of mcdonalds across the street. Â I've been there atleast 6 times in the last year and tried all different things and haven't found a single thing that is worth it.
You're better off going somewhere else.
We used a coupon from <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FRestaurant.com&s=0aab4cbd731f3d3b0d1453050d3abc56a8c80bd214e25469c7555b750dca8a51" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Restaurant.com</a>, and McDuffy's allowed alcohol to be used with the coupon, which was a huge plus.
I enjoyed this place.. the happy hour menu is great and the food was very tasty. The service was okay..it wasn't horrible but it wasn't fantastic. I would definitely return here for some drinks and good food. The only negative thing is they don't serve pitchers of beer =| just pints/glasses.
Went back to McDuffies tonight to watch the NFL draft. Â Had a blast drinking the craft beer of the month, watching the draft & BONUS! they have just added OTB!!! Come on horse #5!!! Momma needs a new purse!. Â Ok so I only bet on a few horses, but it was fun!!! Â Great prices, televisions everywhere, fairly good food and a comfortable atmosphere. Â Worth a shot when your in the neighborhood.
Review Source:I'm all about Happy Hours and their specials. I am all about Martini's and a good martini at a low price. McDuffy's Grill has a great Wednesday "Three Olives Night" happy hour special. The staff is great, serving up the drinks the way you like 'em just for $3.99. What a steal!
The menu boasts typical bar fare. Not too many vegetarian friendly options but if you're looking for variety, don't eat at a bar!
Overall, it's a good place for drink with friends, co-workers, or even going solo. I had to give it 3 stars because of the location and the entrance is so darn impossible to find!
Great Sports Bar! Finally a sports bar in Chandler that gets it. The patio at this place is huge, but unlike a place like Iguana Macks for example, you feel like you are sitting inside even though you are in fact on a patio. Never seen a concept quite like it, definately the result of all the no-smoking laws. Multiple TVs, decent food, $2 drafts, pool table, and my favorite: POKER on Thursdays.
Review Source:This is a my local watering hole and I go there quite often. Â It is within walking distance of my house, which is very convenient.
2 things make this place stand out from the rest - $2.00 domestic pints (beat that somewhere!) and the smoking patio.
They have a full selection of entertainment - darts, pool table, Golden Tee, etc. Â I think there are some 30 HDTV's throughout the place, always showing some sort of sports. Â Awesome. Â Wednesday nights are Team Trivia nights, Thursday they have Poker.
The food is very decent. Â I highly recommend one of their 1/2 lb burgers.. (Thursday night is burger night - $4.50!!)
The people here are very cool. Â The employees are very nice. Â I haven't had any problems with service here yet.
I have been to this McDuffy's quite a few times. They are solid. Waitresses are nice, bartenders are nice, the owner is always more than happy to chat with the customers. I have had most of the items on the menu. I liked all of them except for the turkey avocado wrap, but thats my fault because I dont usually like wraps, what was I thinking?
Anyway, cerveza, good service and good food. No complains. I encourage anyone to try it out.
Very large menu! Â Confusing location. Â The bar/restaurant is located in a strip mall, and the entrance is on the backside, inconvenient for a driver trying to figure out where to park. Â There is an indoor outdoor section, as well as a traditional indoor section. Â The "outdoor" section is lit up with strings of lights and palm trees. Â The bar, despite multiple attempts, fails to deliver. Â I live so close I can walk, but I'd rather drive an hour away for better service and a decent crowd. Â I have been there on several Saturdays since it has opened, and I'm sad to say there were never more then 10 people there. Â The special cocktails on the menu are pretty tasty, but it's not enough. Â The huge menu is over-whelming, but the food is very good. Â There are multiple tv's with different sporting events featured on each television. Â The bar really has great potential, but they need to advertise better, open a more convenient entrance on the 'rear' side of the building, and bring some people in if they ever expect to stay in business.
