The Woodshed

I have been a regular fixture here since the late '80's when my "then-girlfriend" introduced me to the place. The wings beat everything I had before. Shortly thereafter I began to cheat on her by going to the 'Shed alone every Sunday (and/or Monday) to spend time with my new mistress- "Thirty Hot and Grilled" wings.

Back then it was next to impossible to get the wings Grilled. You had to argue with the bartender to grill them after they were sauced, because they didn't want to clean the grill afterwards. What the bartender didn't realize was that grilled wings were a gold mine that kept me and a mess of other customers coming for more.

Well, 25 years later, the wings are still top notch if you have one of the bartenders who have been there a long time hook them up for you (and you don't have to argue to get them grilled anymore, just remember to let them know you want them grilled when you order-lol).

The Woodshed I rarely has table side service. You mostly have to walk up to the bar and order, go back to your table, then pick it up from the bar yourself or it'll languish up there and get cold, either due to staff shortage or rare indifference. The same goes for drink orders/refills.

NOTE: This is a Sports Bar so you really shouldn't expect waiting staff.-lol

If you prefer more consistent table side service, I recommend The Woodshed II in Mesa for the full service, dining experience. Although they have some preparation inconsistencies, there are at least one to two waitresses that are very attentive even on heavy "Game" days.

The burgers here are BIG! They are absolutely fantastic! Great bargin in price. They taste great with one of their ice cold beers.

Chill spot for drinking with the boys. Not a place to bring your best girl to, but if you're looking to grab a few while watching a game, this is the place for you. Food is surprisingly good, since the bartenders work the grill behind the bar.
