Sunday NFL atmosphere was lively and boisterous! Several games were playing on the many TVs inside and out.
Great beer selection. Â Too bad they don't make their own (I'm always looking for new beer to try) but offering local brews from around the state is the next best thing.
My wife and I both had delicious burgers. Â I'm looking forward to trying a few appetizers and the pizza next visit.
Service was great also.
I'm going to echo the sentiments of many of those that have reviewed Monsoon's Tap and Grill.
Great service, very good beer selection, but the place could use some additional decor. It's just way too open and cafeteria-like. Â They were able to put on the hockey game that we requested in short order, so again, good service in that respect as well.
I tend to eat fairly healthy, and I'm a vegetarian. Â When looking at the menu, there wasn't a lot that a person could choose from that was gluten-free and vegetarian. Â That being said, I had the fried zucchini that was absolutely delicious, but again, not something that I would have normally ordered. Â
I also ordered their house salad and thought it was a little overpriced at $8, given the size. Â The server told us that they make their own ranch and blue cheese dressing, and the latter was totally yummy!
Seeing that I really wanted to like this restaurant, as I live in the area, I was mildly disappointed, but I will certainly go back. Â Like Noble Hops in Oro Valley, their bar is inside/outside, which is really nice.
Pros: Great service, good location
Cons: The interior looks too "open," not too many healthy options for food (even though I like to drink calorie-laden beer) Â :)
I'll be back. :)
Stopped here for lunch to check out the new place. Sooooo disappointing! I ordered the Midwestern soup, which was basically a very thick Cream of Broccoli, cheese, and potato concoction. It was barely warm and the potatoes were boney. No microwave, so no offer to warm it up. Even when I asked if there was any way to do so. My husband had the pork with green chilies, and it was fine. Wesat atthe bar, and the waitress was cordial and attentive. However, the owner stood next to us talking to friends and never acknowledged any of his patrons. Â Even when the waitress told him about the soup, he told her to take it off the bill, but never turned to me to ask if I would like something else. The decor is very
Uninviting. Just like the owner. We won't be back.
Came here one Friday evening for lunch with some co-workers of mine, let's just say we never made it back to the office.
The weather was amazing that day, and decided to grab a table out on the patio (i love a restaurant with a great patio area). The restaurant has a very open feeling (TOO OPEN) - like it's missing something (maybe some decors?)
They have 18 craft beers on tap - mostly from Thunder Canyon and Four Peaks brewery. I ordered the tasty kilt lifter from Four Peaks brewery - A nice deep smooth Scottish Ale (must have had like 4 or so).
As for food, I ordered the "Classic Juicy with a side of fires". For the price this is such a GREAT burger! The burger consists of two quarter pound handmade patties with melted American cheese on top, lettuce, tomato, onions.
The service was beyond great! Let's just say, my glass was never empty.
All in all this place is great to meet a group of friends and enjoy a reasonably priced burger with some ice cold beers.
Till next time,
KCYE...
I really liked this place. Â Met up with some of my gals for lunch! Â New place, so we all wanted to try it out. Â It was a beautiful day out, so we decided to eat in the patio area. Â It's a pretty good size patio, and there were TV's outside and music playing too! Â I liked the variety of music they played! Some Sinatra, to old school disco, to hip-hop & rock, and I think there was a Xmas song in there too! It was Mariah Carey's "all I want for Christmas is you!". Â Lol. Â
The waitress was very friendly and attentive. Â She was always checking on us to make sure everything was ok and if we needed anything. Â When we first ordered our drinks, she was very helpful in letting us sample a few of the beers to make sure we got one that we actually wanted. Â I liked that most of the beers they had were from local breweries in AZ. Â I decided on the Mr. Pineapple. Nice and light with a hint of pineapple taste. Â Pretty good!
I ordered the McGeetos burger with fries.  Wow, this burger was so yummy!  They served it open faced, so I didn't realize how big it was at first until I put the buns together.  (Can't believe I finished the whole thing!) The burger had some fresh jalapenos in it, with hatch green chiles, avocado, & pepper-jack cheese.  The burger was cooked perfectly as I wanted (medium), so it was super juicy!  (See my pics!)  Mmmm.  Will definitely have to come back for more & try the other menu items!  A couple of my friends had the fish and chips, and they  raved about it, the fish was nice and tender!  And my other friend had a grilled ham & cheese sandwich that had green chiles in it.  She absolutely loved it too!
This place has lots of potential. Â The servers were helpful and very friendly. Â I would definitely come back to hang out for happy hour! Â The ambiance was cool, and with great food, and awesome drinks what more could you want?
My wife and I came in for the first time tonight around 6. With all the cars in the lot and the amount of people sitting outside we figured it would be crowded inside. The place was empty with the exception of some people sitting at the bar. We waited a little bit before our waitress came by with menus(there were quite a few employees milling around indoors). We started out with the zucchini sticks and enjoyed them very much, we'd have them again. For dinner we both had burgers. The burgers were cooked to our request and tasted very good. We enjoyed what we had tonight but the only downside to our dining experience was the service. Slow. We'll try it again and see what happens.
Review Source:Come for the beer, not the food.
I'm going to be open minded regarding Monsoon's as I went during their soft opening period on their first weekend and the place was packed.
When we entered the bar, we were unable to spot an open table. Â There wasn't a hostess or other wait staff to assist us with finding a seat, so we actually left as we thought nothing was available. Â As we were walking out, we noticed a table in the corner of the patio area so we took it. Â On the way to the table we received a few odd looks from some of the staff.
Our waitress was quick to get our drink orders and menus. Â And the beer selection is fantastic! Â I love microbrews, so it was great to have a 2 page selection of such beers that are based in Arizona!
Our food was another story. Â It took an hour and fifteen minutes to receive our food. Â That could be expected as it was a soft opening. Â However, it was later in the evening and it appeared like most of the tables were drinking at this point and not eating. Â About an hour in to the wait, our waitress told us that there was a large group inside who's order was placed immediately before ours and our food would be out soon. Â That table had 8-10 people there. Â About 5 minutes later, the manager came out and told us that our order was lost in the system and they were working to complete the order. Â
Once we got the food, 3 of the entrees came out and 5 minutes later the last entrée came out with our appetizer.  Most of the food (French fries, Quesadilla, chicken fingers) was lukewarm at best and overall a very bland taste was reported by all 4 people at the table.  The batter and seasoning on the fried chicken fingers and fish was particularly bland.  It was almost like it was fried in flour without salt, pepper or other seasonings.  It most definitely was not beer battered as listed on the menu.  The onion rings, on the other hand, were delicious.  You could definitely tell that the beer batter was used on this item.
Towards the end of the meal, the manager came up and apologized about the food and comped us 50% of our bill (essentially, the entrees were free). Â This was very generous of him, and I can understand the difficulties with a newly opened restaurant. Â He was also very receptive of our criticism of the food and acknowledged the cook staff probably got rushed to finished our order and didn't use the correct batter.
On the way out, we were approached by a second manager (big guy with tattoos and a Mohawk hidden by a hat) in which he asked us about the experience. Â We told him the same critiques that we told the previous manager and this one became very defensive and combative regarding the wait and the food. Â It was not a good way to end our experience. Â My group discussed not going back based on this manager alone.
Overall, I'll give Monsoon's food another try in 2-3 months once the staff can get settled and organized. Â We may stop in again before than but it would only be for the beer before heading to another restaurant for food.
I have been here twice already and I intend to go many more times in the future. The beer selection is great! (So is their happy hour.) I really enjoyed the choices from Four Peaks and the nut brown they had on tap. Â The first time I went I split a cheesesteak and the BLTA with a friend. I got the red mashed potatoes on the side. It was delicious. I also tried the fries, which were also very good. The second time I went I got the Black and Bleu salad...I really loved it! The steak that came with it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. There was just the right amount of blue cheese on the salad...basically it was amazing.
The service was great both times! Each server was very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and happy.
I will be back to have everything I've already gotten and try more of their menu! So far this is looking like a place I will be coming to often. I'm excited to see what beers they carry in the future!
We had been looking forward to the opening of this spot and it's finally here! Â This restaurant consists of a group of people that were ousted from Magpies under new management (after 20+ years!) Â But much better things lie ahead for them and we were happy to check them out. Â It was hard trying to decide what to order from all their menu choices, even though the menu isn't long they packed a lot of variety on a single page. Â Decided to start with the wings and then go with the burgers and we were not disappointed. Â Wings were perfectly cooked and the sauce was almost smokey but with the right amount of heat. Â I had the McGeetos burger and it was delicious! Â A juicy hamburger patty topped with grilled jalapenos, green chiles, pepperjack cheese and all the fixings on top of a perfect bun (sturdy enough but soft too). Â Yum! Â I heard the basic bacon cheeseburger was very good too, especially the bacon. Â They have a great selection of only AZ beers on tap from Four Peaks, Thunder Canyon and Barrio to name a few. Â To top everything off they have TV's everywhere you look, very TCB style so you won't miss a game or second of action. Â The location isn't huge so I'm sure it will be nice and packed come game days. Â Way to go guys!
