Need to change my rating. Service just isn't good. I don't know. Gave it another shot after taking a break for a while, but I won't be back. The servers here just don't care, and it shows. I like going to a place where the servers at least "try" to offer some hospitality. Maybe just a tad of small talk. The service here on multiple occasions has been like going through a drive-thru. "May I take your order? Ok, X amount of dollars for that. Here ya go. See ya!" SMH....
Review Source:I don't watch TV, I don't have cable, so when there is a sporting event I really want to watch, I have to find a venue where it is on. That's how I ended up at the counter of Tilted Kilt. Smile, good atmosphere, very accommodating (changing the channel of the tv right in front of me so I can enjoy the show even better). Busy place but no complaint about service. Went 2 days in a row, same time. Brittney said she would save my seat for the second day, and she did. Awesome. I felt welcome. Food is ok, especially with my dietary restrictions. I did not go there to judge the food. They made me want to go back, and I will for sure. Cool place. Brittney, you rock.
Review Source:I would give tk zero stars if I could. They put on a party for st pattys day. A complete mess. Extra help walking around doing nothing. No service no food and no drinks. If you have a complaint keep it to yourself. They don't wanna hear it. Table was supposed to be 30 minutes. After an hour of asking and waiting patiently I realized the hostess clearly did not care. And it was not that crowded. I will not be back. No reason to deal with the garbage for sub par food.
Review Source:This is not my first time here, so imagine my disappointment when the service sucked this time. Â Sad part is that i have family from out of town with me. Â Our waitress first off got the beers mixed up, OK things happen, next did not really listen to what we ordered. Â My niece ordered BBQ sauce instead of ranch and mandarin oranges instead of fries and when the food came out she got ranch and fries, when the check came we got charged for the waitress' mistake. Â I ordered chicken wings with blue cheese and guess what i received ranch dressing, on the ticket i was charged for that also. Â I was also kind of surprised that for the price of wings you only get 8. Â The parking sucked on top of all this. Â I was so embarrassed that i brought my out of town guest to this place and after watching Undercover Boss, very sad. Â The owner might want to check out this place himself. Â It will be a long time before i go back myself or take anyone else there.
Review Source:Visited this establishment over a year ago and also returned yesterday. Foodwise, the shepherd's pie was not too great as it was poorly assembled and this isn't really a real Irish pub anyway. Chicken quesadilla appetizer had a few good bites and happy hour has only a handful of $5 food specials, more focusing on the alcohol. Yesterday, I enjoyed a large 20oz beer for about $3.50 and sat on the nearly empty patio at prime time happy hour around 5:30pm. Inside was full of men everywhere watching golf and basically a man overload. You can only stare at the Tilted Kilt girls so long - so the novelty wears off after awhile. These girls seem less friendly here in Tempe, but they were all mostly gorgeous so the positives outweigh the negatives. Oh and join the email club and get a free order of Irish nachos.
Review Source:My daughter called and told me to meet her and her husband at the Tilted Kilt on a Wednesday night, I didn't even question her as to why, just said ok I'll be their!
Secretly I have been wanting to try Tilted Kilt for a while, so meet up with my friend, daughter and her hubby and found out its trivia night, omg how much fun is that??
Found out that happy hour is from 5pm to 7pm and I have to say they have a good selection of drinks & food on that happy hour menu, I went for 2 long island ice teas and some mozzarella sticks. Also ordered some potato skins with horseradish dipping sauce, omg I love love love horseradish sauce and potatoes so it was a win win for me on this dish!
Also I have been suffering from an extreme sweet tooth, that sometimes only brownies can satisfy, so I ordered the brownie guilt and asked for extra caramel sauces, and yes that did the trick, cured my sweet tooth for sure!
Have to say  it was a fun night, our team placed 7th out of 12 for trivia night (don't judge us haha ) look forward to going back to Tilted Kilt to try some more pub grub, booze and play trivia!
Wow, so this is quite the place on a weekday night! Â Lots of TV'S all around the joint!
You won't miss a thing. The girls are all nice looking to say the least. Super skimpy outfits.
I think it is a lot better than Hooters, The food is so so but, not horrilbe. Give it a try,it is for sure something very different.
We Got A Piper Down!
By The Rue
For lunch today was the Tilted Kilt,
I arrived in a car and not on stilts,
This is not The House That Peter Built,
When I play pinball I never tilt!
My opinion it's a two star "pub",
A lot of T.V.'s and mediocre grub,
Take a shower or get in the tub,
Maybe the girls will give you a chub.
Went with the blackened chicken flatbread,
Lettuce, tomato, onion, chipotle spread,
Right after I ordered I thought in my head,
I should have went with cheesesteak instead.
It looked good right when it came out,
After the first bite I wanted to shout,
"Where is the chicken" I should have spout,
But I sucked it up anyway, and I hate No Doubt.
It's funny to see all the negative reviews,
From all the guys who don't have a clue,
Don't get mad when the chicks aren't into you,
Go home and pout when you finish your brew.
The ice tea was rich and strong how I like,
Snoop Dogg called E-Z-E's mom a Frisco Dyke,
If you're a stickler for food then you might dislike,
The choices here but no reason to strike.
It's a much better place to watch the game,
Don't even bother asking your waitress her name,
They get it all day long you're just the same,
Another tool in a used BMW, what a shame.
Courtney our waitress was right in stride,
Efficient and cute and certainly not wide,
To the girl with the huge tattoos down your side,
I would marry you tomorrow and make you my bride!!
HAGGIS!!!
So, all that matters is this -- the babes serving the slop and booze were cute and sexy as it gets. The skirts and revealing low tops are the ultimate fetish. Way better than Hooters.
Having said that, I could see the same thing for free by sitting on Mill Av. Why are guys so desperate they will go to dumps like this just to see college aged girls bare some belly?
TV screens are all over the place but I doubt many male eyes are focused on sports when the babes are making the rounds.
THE FOOD IS TERRIBLE. Â It's also overpriced.
Whatever you do don't order fried onion rings. Very gross! Most of the food is what you would expect if you went to grandma's retirement village -- except for the fact that her oatmeal would be better than anything TK serves.
I had to ask for napkins and silverware. Probably most guys that go to this voyeur palace don't use either so the babes don't bother putting them on the table.
If the baby dolls (waitresses) knew anything about the food they served it would help to avoid all the bad food. Expect them to give vacuous opinions about anything on the menu. The babes are very good at one thing -- when presenting the bill they bend down very low to display their firm bosoms. What better way to generate generous tips!
Actually if the babes were offered for dessert, I would give this place a 5 star!
I loathe this place. Partly because its a faux Irish pub*, partly because the service sucks and the food is mediocre at best.
I go to bars for good drinks and good food. Â If the staff is hot girls in skimpy outfits, that can be a bonus, not a replacement for the other two.
There are places doing the "hot waitstaff" concept much better, find one and go there. Or better yet, find a bar you like that just happens to have a cute bartender, and be a regular there!
*True story, was once having a bad day and needed a good Irish whiskey to cheer me up. I asked what their selection was and after ~5 minutes of searching their backbar they found a (singular) dusty bottle of bushmill's. Nothing else... weak sauce!
How else would you start a mini vacation in the Phoenix area. Â Well of course stop off at The Tilted Kilt for a quick drink and a few ok appetizers. Potatoe skins and wings, beer and booze. Â Service was great. Â It was not too busy but it was kinda late. Â Would I go back well only if I have to.
Review Source:Boobies, bad food, below average service, good for watching sports.
That about sums it up.
Had a burger and garlic fries that were both disgusting and inedible. Â Burger was supposed to have grilled jalapenos, they were just cold ones thrown on. Â The taste was not good. Â The garilc fries were soggy and oily with no real garlic flavor...not even real garlic it seemed.
The service is below average with most of the boobies, I mean girls, chatting amongst themselves and ignoring customers.
I just did not enjoy this place and will never return.
This Tilted Kilt is alright...this is more like a 2.5-star review. They have happy hour every day from 4-7pm....but no mention of the specials from either the waitress or menu. Kind of weird, but whatever. Speaking of which, the menu had an insert left over from St Patrick's day.
I've been to the Tilted Kilt in N Scottsdale and I've never been really impressed by the talent at either location. There's usually only 2 attractive girls out of 6-7. And they really should not allow girls with flabby bellies to wear skimpy clothing. In my not-so-humble-opinion. The problem with Arizona and this country now is that any chick under 140lbs is considered "hot" which is really fucking funny.
The TVs here are projection/15-ft variety which are fairly sharp and add a nice touch. And the bar gets packed for sporting events. But $25 after tip for 2 Miller Lites and a qeusadilla seems kind of high. A Miller Lite draft costs $5 for the largest or $12 for a pitcher. Why not sell a 32oz draft for six bucks? Tilted Kilt is alright but in this economy, I'd rather hit up a real sports bar or a shitty dive if I'm slumming it.
I'm surprised that I'm giving this place five stars, but it really lives up to all of its promises.
I've been in twice, and both times we were treated great. The first time we went and set at a long bar overlooking three huge-screen TV's. We ordered two of the beer towers and some appetizers. Our waitress was great - there when we needed her, not in our face. We were probably a little loud as well, but that fit right in. Our check wasn't bad either, for three people we spent about $15 each.
Last Friday, I went in for some afternoon bar therapy and to watch the first few UFC fights. The two bartenders, whose names I forget, were spectacular. They had the bar under control, great teamwork. Overall, it was another great experience, exactly what I was looking for.
5/5 for being everything a Sports Bar should be.
I've been meaning to check out Tilted Kilt and the opportunity presented itself last week.
It was kind of funny. Besides the waitresses, I was the only female in the whole place.
Our server was busy but looked good so you can't really complain. Our food came out how we ordered and pretty quickly.
We got the Irish nachos, which were on happy hour ($5) and the Kilt Club and split everything. I really enjoyed the Club. It had a pesto mayo on it that was really yummy and really good bread. The nachos were good but I enjoyed the sandwich more.
I also loved the atmosphere. As a sports junkie, it was basically my kind of joint. They had drop down screens that played baseball so I was a happy camper.
Definitely a fun place to check out the eye candy and watch a ball game. I'll be back.
This place is so accommodating that they allowed our meet-up group to watch the Victoria's Secret fashion show on the big screen last night! Talk about service. The service was also spot on. I ate before I arrived, so didn't eat there...but my friends did and the food looked fresh and delicious! They have 2 pool tables (lack of brush to clean off all the debris on the pool table prevented me from giving them 5 stars), tons of TV and lots of room.
We had the only table with females, which was typical for this type of bar i guess. The servers were dressed in stuff that may have been seen on the VS fashion show!
The prices are very reasonable too! Will definitely be back for the food ^_~
what better combination for a regular guy: boobs and sports! needless to say I only stop here 'cos one of my male friends is celebrating something. Service is ok, and of course the kilted ladies will do all to get her tips....but don't complain if they forgot your drink was on happy hour, or that you can't eat a steak without cutlery.
For beers...I rather sit always ten times at 4peaks!
After having heard so much about Tilted Kilt, I finally got a chance to go this past weekend (only to witness CAL demolish ASU). Â :'(
The place wasn't too packed for the game (I'm guessing they were all at Four Peaks or San Tan), so we had some good seats right in front of one of the projection screens. Â The ASU game was quite painful to watch, so I was relieved to be able to watch the AUB LSU game on the center screen without too much effort.
The beers came out cold (Sierra NV yeah!), and we even had a penny beer token thingy-ma-jig that the birthday boy in our group claimed for a Kilt Lifter. Â The waitress didn't even take the token away. Â Sweet!
Our waitress was cool and came by every once in a while to check up on us. Â She didn't even ask if we wanted separate checks - she just came by with all of them separated out (+1 bonus point).
One gripe I had came from my food order. Â I ordered fries at the same time someone else ordered a wrap (which comes with fries). Â My order of fries came out 15-20 minutes after the wrap+fries came out. Â What the heck? Â I'm hungry! Â The fries were pretty good by the way, and came in a decent-sized portion.
So I went here with a friend after spending a sweltering day apartment hunting in Chandler. I was hot, irritated, and in need of a cold beer and somewhere to hang for awhile. It was late on a Sunday afternoon, and I was parked at Home Depot across the street so I walked there. In other words, my expectations were low already, shouldn't be hard to please me right? Ha...
As we approached the door, we were greeted by a chalkboard sign showcasing the featured beer of the month. August's beer of the month: Bud Light. Wtf. Already I am rethinking this place, but we're thirsty so we go in.
Teeny tiny shirts and skirts on the waitresses: yeah, not my favorite part of the place. My male friend agreed, but you walk in knowing what you're getting into, so whatever. Skanky, dirty, sticky, food-coated bar during a lull with no customers: also, not so much a fan. Chose a seat and had to move because I didn't want to put my arms down on the counter.
The encounter with the bartender went roughly as follows:
My friend: So, the beer of the month is... Bud Light? Really?
Bartender: Yep, Bud Light. (straight, serious face)
Friend: Uh, yeah, because clearly Bud Light is the best beer ever.
Bartender: Well, it is the best beer ever. I mean, it's my favorite beer. (still serious face, but now slightly defensive tone for mocking his beer-love.)
Friend: Right. So I guess I'll just have a Miller Lite then.
It's not a horrible place, and I'm sure I'll end up back there. I just think documentation is necessary when a bartender says his favorite beer is Bud Light.
We went here last weekend after an even in AZ. There was a HUGE group of us, we took up two rows of tables.
The atmosphere was good, prices are affordable and even with a group as big as our, we had excellent service up until the end.
The food was tasty, I ordered the cheese steak, a friend of ours had the classic nachos with chicken and beef. Both were good. The tea was a bit.... bland? I only had a taste, as it was my husband's drink. It left much to be desired.
At the end of the meal, we were the last to be given our tabs and the server never came back to take the payment. We waited for about 10 minutes while our groups was dispersing. Wouldn't have been such a big deal if we didn't have to follow some of them to get home. When I approached our server to offer my card, it was as though I was interrupting her for no reason... then she remembered she hadn't collected our payment. I was tempted to walk out, but couldn't do that to the poor girl. I know what it's like to be busy, but there could have been more attention to detail here.
I would go back, for sure, though. It was a good place.
For having a "normal" experience at one of the other locations, this one was great. Â I do believe that the layout of this location is EXCELLENT. Â The massive TVs are a HUGE plus. Â I was totally diggin' that at my bar seat, the TVs were the PERFECT distance from my eyes where it didn't blind me. Â It was awesome!
Another thing... GET THE DRUNKEN CLAMS. Â I swear, I wanted to drink the broth after I was done. Â There were a ton of clams and it was just great.
I also got the Gaelic Chicken... OMG.
I absolutely hate saying "OMG" but OMG.
Get it. Â If you like chicken, onions, mushrooms, mashed 'taters and an excellent sauce to top it all... GET IT.
The waitress was real nice and cute little thing too. Alana... I liked that she put her name on our little drink coasters. Â That's how I remember her name.
Scale of 1-10 (single visit):
7 Food

8 Value
I think I like this place. Â It'll need a few more trials though to make sure. Â I was there for lunch to watch the Germany WC game, so it was during work and I couldn't get any drinks. Â They did a GREAT job catering to the WC crowd.
Though, for some reason, it just feels odd watching girls walk around with their boobs out when you can't have a beer.
Next time, I'm having a beer.
The cheap thrills of Hooters in a much cooler environment with much better food.
Went for lunch with 6 men that I'm working with as the only girl. Â Opted for the chicken tender wrap, "tilted", with blue cheese instead of ranch. Â The wrap was pretty good, though I should have asked for the blue cheese on the side. Â The fries were excellent - crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
My objective female opinion is that the uniforms for the girls here are far more flattering than those heinous "flesh" colored tights and bright orange running shorts that the Hooters girls have to wear.
As for the pub part, one of the group said it best - "We should have come for happy hour instead of lunch." Â That's what I'm going to recommend the next time the vendors suggest this place for lunch. Â I've never minded establishments such as this when I've got a nice cold beverage in hand.
While it's difficult for me to give a place that serves Dead Guy Ale and cider on tap one star, the "pint" glass issue bothers me, as an honest and seasoned drinker. American pints are supposed to hold 16 ounces of delicious liquid happiness, but Tilted Kilt's thick-walled, thick-bottomed glasses only seem to hold 12 ounces (I also tested this with a 12-ounce bottle). I just don't see this place as having to cut corners like that, given its popularity.
Not to mention the fact that it's a bit shameful for an Irish/English themed bar to not serve Imperial pints, in my opinion.
Aside from that fact, it seems to be a decent place to watch games, ogle scantily clad waitresses, be cheated out of 4 ounces, or do other quite manly stuff that manly men do in sports bars. The food is also largely forgettable, but adequate for sports bar food.
To Hell with Hooters and Half Moon! They ain't got sh*t on the Kilt. Â Whoops the Ni99a came out for a min. Â Get back in there, they're not ready. lol The Kilt has decent plasmas, and lots of room (except for UFC matches, so crowded no one else was admited).
I love the 3 dollar jack and cokes (24/7 - 365), and the hot wings here are to fall back in your chair and die for. Not to mention the Tempe location has some very attractive eye candy for me and my entourage.
Ask me about a good sports bar for UFC and this is it.
I used to come here to play poker. It's a chain in the same spirit as Hooters or The Library in that they feature scantily clad young girls serving alcoholic beverages and a variety of fried foods while multiple televisions pointed at every angle display whatever sporting events that happen to be happening at the time.
Tilted Kilt is a little more like the LIbrary in terms of the outfits the girls wear... similar to a stripper's version of a Catholic School Girl. I've always found the Hooters thing to be quite unappealing. If you come to Tilted Kilt for the buxom girls, you'll be both relieved to know that they are typically of the attractive ilk and disappointed to discover that they will never take their tops off for you - no matter what you tip them (just a guess, I've never tested this theory). It's hardly worth an ogle... maybe a glance from your periphery.
So what's left is the food and the drink. Happily, the food is pretty decent - though it's odd. They have salads topped with sandwich innards and sandwiches filled with salads. I can't say it's health food, but it's tasty enough. I mean, who puts a philly cheese steak on top of a salad? I guess Tilted Kilt does. And it's not bad. Some of it is a bit flavorless, but add a bit of salt and it's fine. And some of it is downright great for that type of food. One of the better salad wraps I've had.
This is definitely a man's hangout. I wouldn't suggest bringing a date here unless she also likes boobs busting out of tiny tops with bras showing, greasy fried meatatarian cuisine, and your attention drawn away from her lovely eyes towards whatever motocross, boxing or basketball event (in other words: beer commercials) happens to be on.
The atmosphere is fairly generic, but comfortable. The drinks are stiff enough. And the prices aren't ridiculous. It's like any number of places - Red Robin, TGIFridays, etc... except for the boobs.
This place is between a 3 and a 4 for me, but since I can't say I'm a "fan" I'll have to leave it at 3. It's nice enough though and I wouldn't turn down an invite to go here... it just wouldn't be a place I'd pick.
I had no idea that this place was a large national chain because, surprisingly, it has more of a 'local-bar' feel, complete with all the tools and townies in here who think that they will hook up with a waitress because he ordered a Hoegaarden instead of a Miller Lite. Â
Its a totally cheesy bar, but its not bad as a gamewatching spot for a game that you aren't completely invested in, maybe catching a beer, some chicken tenders, and a couple of quarters of the game before moving on to Home Depot across the street or something. Â
Writing this review, I'm actually surprised upon recollection how many times I had been here. Â We used to come for Suns playoff games, which was virtually impossible for seating purposes (at this point they start having table-waits) and parking. Â The atmosphere was better than your average Valley sports bar however. Â People seem to really care about sports here, though I wouldn't really classify it as a 'sports bar', rather a neighborhood type bar with screens.
I also used to come here for poker nights, which I doubt they still do as too many 'bags came to drink iced tea and wouldn't tip the waitresses. Â Maybe someone can inform if they still do.
Then, we used to come after soccer rec league games, which was kind of a dweeby thing to do in our footy kits, but whatever. Â It was a few years ago, anyway. Â Still, this is the type of place that gets people right from their beer guzzler rec leagues and into the bar still in their Mark Mitsubishi (Mark Mitsubishi) sponsored baseball tees. Â This is the primary reason why you won't want to stick your hands into the huge barrels of Gardetto's mix, despite the unreal temptation for a dabble. Â
Overall, i suppose I can't really hate on this place too much. Â Its kind of weak, but it is a decent option, particularly in the 'Took, where there just ain't many other options. Â Just don't be one of the wanks who tries to pick up a waitress for the love of God.
Remember name that tune? Â
Well, I can name (describe) this bar in 2 words or less. Â
(The crowd goes "Wooooooooooo". Â My opponent lets a bead of sweat run down their forehead. Â They know they can't do better....)
Are you ready? Â
Scottish Hooters
See if this is familiar to you. Â Food that is ok in general with a couple of "specialties" that rise a bit above the rest. Â Lots of big screens on all over the place, Â showing the big games that are on that night. Â And for some reason guys often aren't able to finish a sentance without pausing as their eyes follow one of the waitresses walking by. Â
Now add to that an AMAZING amount of noise. Â We were part of a large party and I couldn't hear more than 1 person from me without the other person yelling. Â Then know that several times during your evening there will be jokes about what the girls, and the boys (bartenders) really are wearing under their kilts.
It appears there is quite a bit of parking, but folks getting there after 7 on a Friday night had to park at the shopping center across the street. Â It gets THAT full.
My friend, after checking out "the View" said, "Ok, I'd drive from Surprise for a glass of water here." Â That really describes it from a male perspective. Â No one will talk about the food when you leave. Only the kilts. Â Which isn't so bad....
