$6.50 for a small basket of cold tortilla chips and salsa that was spoiled? No vodka and grapefruit juice? They said they ran out of Juice the day before. News flash-there is a Fresh n Easy next door. Waited way too long for service. We are not picky people, we just like a quality place to spend our time and money. Sorry won't be back..

Not sure why I came back, being there were only 9 people in the place seems that they lack a lot - based on what I see not a lunch time destination! Due to lack of people hard to go wrong on beer - wait I could be wrong! This place to have survived must be on a night time audience.
(1)Marc B.
This is My first time at this location. I popped in to catch the tail end of the Green Bay game and do a little swash buckling! I sat at the outside bar which is heated and provides a great view of several TV'S. all in all a Great place to throw down some brew

I was hesitant about this place considering their disastrous reviews. I don't typically go anywhere that doesn't have at least 3.5 stars, but our co-worker is quite fond of the place and the meet up was for him. Some of us ordered food to go, but no one actually looked at it before they left so I can't really speak to it. However the garlic fries are super garlicky as we could smell them extremely well when they were delivered to our neighbor. We all had drinks, which ranged between blue moon, whatever Amber was on tap, rum and coke, and a Snake Bite. The place was super busy, with a reunion going on as well as several families. There are plenty of tables and booths set away from the bar if you have a family to seat, which I liked. The place was pretty clean, including what I saw of the restroom. The waitress seemed to be in far too much of a hurry, never sticking around for more than a couple seconds and didn't offer up any water to anyone. She wasn't unfriendly, but rather just really focused on getting around the place and not particularly personable. If you wanted something you'd better be aggressive with it and catch her on one of her fly bys because once she was gone you had to wait another 20+ minutes. Tons of parking because this place is in a strip mall. I'd go back but probably just for the drinks. You can check out the menu on their website. Most everything looks likes a heart attack waiting to happen, which isn't really my type of food. Not a bad place, but nothing particularly note-worthy so 3 stars.

Took 10 plus minutes before the waitress came by. Food took another 20 plus minutes. I ordered wings and fries. I watched others receiving the same lack of service. Prices are high based on the quality of the food. I wish this place was better as it is so close to my house, but I will not come back. Maybe worst restaurant experience I've had.
(1)K S.
This place is a joke. Was there on Sunday for football with a party of 10 watching the Cardinals game on the big tv, next thing you know the game has been changed. When asked waiter about it, his reply was that somebody just came in and asked for a different game to be put on. What a joke. Told him that if it wasn't changed back we would all leave. Finally after 20 minutes Cardinals game popped back up. Don't be surprised if there are young kids dancing with patrons on a Friday night after 10pm. When brought to owners attention was told that they were her kids. I felt uncomfortable drinking and dancing with children around. The bathrooms are disgusting and appears have drug residue in stalls. This place used to be fun but since new owners took over about 6 months or so ago this place sucks!
(1)Kristi M.
Bad, bad, bad! Bad food, bad service, bad drinks! Triple disappointment! I'm not sure how this place stays in business! It does however explain why this place is empty on a"Sunday Game Day".
(1)Jason R.
Bartenders are awesome. They always remember my name and what I drink. Don't eat here though. The food is horrible and probably unsanitary.
(3)Cherie S.
The cheese curds are so good! But don't order the nachos! Worst nachos I've ever had! The cheese is literally super think sauce like the Campbell's canned cheese soup. It's really gross. I just didn't eat them and went to Taco Bell! And I ordered no jalapeño, it came with jalapeños. I told my waiter and a d be told the chef, came back and said "the chef promised there were no jalapeños! Stay away! Can't believe he essentially called me a liar! Look at my photo....
(2)Alex D.
If you do come here just sit at the bar top. Otherwise forget about getting decent service. I do frequent here often as it's a decent sports bar very close to my home. Like I mentioned my friends and I usually only sit at the bar top. Beer is ice cold and not a bad place to watch some games. The food is your typical sub par bar food. They have your blah nachos, hamburgers and what not. Just "meh" all the around as far as food quality and options. So, go for beer and sports, sit at bar top and you'll leave happy-ish...
(2)Mark E.
What happened? The burgers were great before new management came in. There is no possible way these $10 burgers are Angus beef. They were sponge like tasteless mystery meat. We asked to share our experience with the manager, but the manager wouldn't give us a minute of their time. They are more than happy to take all our money, but care less if you will be back to eat there. Don't waste your money here. It's apparent the new manager, or possibly the restaurant won't last long serving that slop.
(1)Nancy Y.
Ate lunch on a Wednesday about 1:30pm; only 1 server/bartender; kids menu states free kids meal with 1 paid adult meal - they did NOT honor this as "she is losing money doing this and she won't honor it". Food good but took us about 50 minutes to get food. Has gone downhill with new ownership.
(1)Antonio L.
Place was dirty; teenagers out by the main entrance were all smoking some bad smokes; the game between Wisconsin and Kentucky was on and a load band was trying to play during the game; it looks like all the waiters were family under 21; only the Bar part full ... The rest empty ... Our food was Good and Hot; but no one came by to check on us! No Manager just some young kid dropped out check .... There Is something Wrong with this place!!!!
(1)EJ K.
We ordered fish and chips: got tons of food for how much it was and fish & chips were crispy as we liked! We were happy with our food as well as with the service received from our waiter.
(3)Justin G.
Two Stars is for an overall score. This place has gone downhill. It took them 5 minutes to seat us even though the place was almost empty. We got menus and noticed they reduced it to 2 sides. Sitting on the table side all I heard the whole time was the kitchen blasting their music. We ordered some simple hot wings, when we got our order they came out 2 baskets at a time. They were pepper hot and bland. The wings were dry and overcooked.
(2)Juan M.
Great live band today! The owner came out and hung out with us for a bit! Definitely a good place for a beer and music!
(5)Suzanne P.
Went to Tailgaters on a Sunday night because every other sports bar was packed. Read the bad reviews prior to going. Needed a cold beer, wasn't starving, so it should do. We sat on the restaurant side. People in the bar were incredibly loud, but there was a game on so I didn't care. Our server took a few minutes to get our menus and orders. The food: onion rings were delicious. But I only got like 8 or 9. For $4 I expected a nice big basket. I ordered a dozen medium wings. They were just yucky. Even the server noticed they were dry. The celery was the best part. The 2 tiny stalks of celery. My daughter had the kids burger which she liked. Overall, not impressed. If I go back I may try a salad. My stomach hurts.
(2)Jessica K.
Went here with a big group of co-workers the other day for a quick lunch. One of the ladies in my group had a $50 off $100 or more purchase coupon (not sure where she found that) so we all went in together. I shared the sampler platter with a friend. It was $14 and came with everything (deep fried mushrooms, cheese curds, onion rings, and wings). Yum! Very greasy, but what can you expect, right? The other items on the menu were more pricey that I'd like to pay for a burger or sandwich ($10+). They did have a lot of side items to choose from (sweet potato fries, garlic fries, regular fries, etc). Overall, I'd try again but just as a happy hour spot.
(3)Julia B.
I didn't think it was possible to screw up nachos, but they found a way. Seriously horrible. And the tacos were just as bad. Hands down the worst food I've ever had. I find it odd that it's not important enough to them to make any changes after all the horrible reviews. It isn't that hard to hire someone that knows how to cook. We've been here twice and won't be back, which is a bummer since there aren't a lot of options in this neighborhood where there are more churches than bars.
(1)Donn O.
Only saving grace was that the food was ok. But wings did not come with carrots and celery as advertised. Sandwiches didn't have tomato or lettuce. Forgot my side salad and silverware. Refills were slow and waiter smelled like smoke after disappearing for awhile. No kids menus. Bathrooms dirty and a in disrepair. Skip this place. Waiter did comp drinks on the bill
(1)Lisa P.
Never again. We used to go here all the time and the food was great but then it was terrible and the service stunk. So tonite we thought we would try again with ordering a fish fry and guess what IT WAS HORRIBLE. We ordered take out and the fish pieces, not a whole piece of fish, were about the size of a large steak fry. No cole slaw which is normally accompanying a fish fry and the fries were soggy and everything was cold. We called to complain and whoever answered the phone slammed the phone down in my husband's ear. The new owner was courteous and refunded our money but admitted that they were trying out a new fish. Our trips to Tailgaters came to an end today so if you do decide to go, good luck.

I'm new to the area and this place is 1.5 miles from the street from me so decided to give it a try despite the two star rating. I'm glad I did! It's a laid back bar. Nothing fancy. Part of the bar is indoors part is outdoors which is cool. I had the cowboy burger which consisted of Angus beef, bacon, onion rings...speaking of onion rings, they have some of the best I've ever had! Where was I? Oh yeah, the burger..it was topped off with ghost pepper cheese and bbq sauce. I opted for onion rings instead of fries or sweet potato fries and so happy I did. Remember why!? The onion rings are awesome!! I chased my burger down with a couple of 25oz cold beers which were a great price at $4 each. Apparently they are $3.50 during happy hour. If you are thinking of coming here..go for it! Most people review bars and restaurants when they are angry anyways. If all the happy people made an effort to review this place it would be at least four stars. Cheers!
(5)Angie G.
We waited 20 minutes for our drink orders to be taken (after having to seat ourselves) the waited forever for our food orders to be taken and for the food to finally come out. We were first told that there was a miscommunication on who was suppose to be covering our table, then that one of the cooks called in sick so that was why the kitchen was so slow. They did take off $20 dollars, however, then came back (after another 10 minutes) to tell us their computer was down and could we please pay in cash! We were there almost 2 hours total for average bar food. Won't be returning!
(1)Krissy H.
Alright good beer selection. Pretty cold beers. Service is better if you sit up at the bar. Foods not bad but is bar food. They have an outside that you can bring your dog and many tv screens inside.
(4)beth s.
Kids eat for FREE on Wednesday's! Pizza was great, we had meat lovers 18"..., It was only $18 and was yummy. Kids loved the "cheese curds" with ranch and marinera!
(5)Jackie S.
My Husband and my 2 kids came in on a Friday evening and it was very busy. We have been there for a few years and we noticed how busy the parking lot has been so they look like more people are trying it out once again or for the first time. So we were seated by a hostess and given the new menu which looked real yummy. A manager came by a woman with the sweetest personality greeted us explained that under New Owners and her husband came up with the new menu and she actually went through it to help us find what we were hungry for. So we got Flatbread and a Pizza with the best tasting Italian Sausage we have ever had. Also we shared the onion wings which is a family recipe. They were so fresh and amazing that we order a second order. the Staff seemed a lot different from years ago. That sweet Manager even made our girls a special dessert! Wow. This place has made a huge upgrade. WE WILL BE BACK.
(4)Nikki D.
Had a great time here with my husband and some family. We came in to watch football on a Sunday. Everyone was polite and the service was great. They had awesome Sunday football specials, and it was definitely a fun place to watch a game! The girls at the bar were great. We did end up sitting at a table where the service was not nearly as good as at the bar, but the server did seem new. I recommend this spot for anyone looking to eat some good inexpensive bar food, have a couple drinks and watch some football!
(5)Meghan P.
worst bar ever!
(1)Janne G.
Good food and service. We really enjoy this place and it's right across the street from our house. Haven't found something I didn't like there!
(5)Warren P.
I get invited to this Tailgaters location for a friend's birthday. It's a drive for me but not my first pub experience. The biggest problem with Tailgaters is slow service. You order a beer at a table and it takes 5 long minutes for it to arrive. The wait staff is somewhere, where I don't know. She breezes through with the food order for the people already sitting there, and takes off before I have a chance to read the menu. When will she return? Lord only knows. Finally the guy delivering the food shows up, and while he's trying hard he's a direct rip-off of "Brian" in Office Space. Yeah, the Chotchkie's waiter, that guy. All he needs is a bucket full of "Flair" to be complete. I get the wings, which were OK, but ordering another beer took 15 minutes. One of the guests in our party were on the "All you can eat" Friday Fried Fish special, and at the rate they were served it was more like "All you CAN eat". Yep, 30 minutes between ordering the second round of fish and when it gets delivered. I figure it's this way: You're smack-dab in the middle of Mormonville, AZ, and any place with a liquor license is going to do well. Any place else this business would not be doing as well as it is.
(2)David W.
Been here a few times. always the same. beer is beer. No way to screw that up. food was Ok. service was bad every time. not the worst place i have ever been but i would rather go sit in the parking lot and drink beer in my car than go inside this place again.
(2)Carly K.
We were there for lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant was not filled but there was a good amount of people, there was only 1 waitress who was very quiet. We waited 5 minutes for her to get us menus, another 15 minutes to bring us drinks for which she did not even complete the actual order and then another 40 minutes for our food to be brought out for which the food was poorly prepared. Someone in our group had ordered sliders, he thought they would be ground beef but they were sliced prime rib (something the server should have mentioned), and another person ordered onion rings with their sandwich for which they didn't even stay together nor did the batter cover the entire ring which made them terrible, the waitress did not even offer a sauce besides ketchup to go with them, as well as another person in our group order the steak salad and the steak was so hard it could barely be cut as well as the fact that the lettuce overwhelmed the salad too much! Let's just say our first experience at this restaurant will be our only experience!
(1)Rick S.
Been meaning to try this lace for a long time. Glad I did not make a special trip. Nothing special. Hamburger had no flavor. Ketchup very runny. Hard to keep on fries. Service was good though.
(2)Chris P.
The atmosphere is great, indoor outdoor bar and good music. The beer is ice cold - unfortunately the food and service is awful. Food 0 Service 0 Atmosphere 3 Update - disregard good music review Friday music is top 40 pop. No thanks! !
(1)Stan L.
Ehh... I read the reviews and decided to try it anyway. Hopefully you don't do the same. If you're hungry don't come here. The food kinda sucks. Beer's beer no matter where you go I suppose. Don't go out a your way for the food. I noticed the bar was completely packed, almost no one eating, they must be the regulars.
(2)Alan F.
The servers that remain are okay. The food has gotten progressively worse over the last year. I avoid it except to go in for a drink and the bar equipment does not always work.
(1)Bob E.
The food is pretty bad here, but the beer is cold and the service at the bar friendly. Not a place I will go out of my way to go back to and if I do it will just be for a beer.
(2)Jared F.
New menu, new decor, much better service. Great neighborhood restaurant. I really like the 5.00 hamburgers on Monday nights.
(5)Janessa W.
Pizza was great, Nachos were delicious, server was efficient and friendly. Kids had no complaints and enjoyed playing pool while we waited for the food.
(5)Jason R.
Been here several times over the past couple years and this was the best visit yet. Sunday afternoon, not much going on sports wise so that could be part of it. But, waiter Alex was very attentive... Best service we've had here, and possibly some of the best restaurant service we've had recently anywhere. Good drinks, including very tasty Bloody Mary's and mug beers on draft. Food is pretty good - only reason I don't give this 5 stars is that it's your traditional bar food. Hits the spot but nothing to write home about.
(4)Mike H.
Worst food I have ever ordered. How does anyone eat this garbage? The bar is nice and has several tv's. Just save your money and forget the food. Yuck. We had a good waiter but the food runner was worthless. Dropped off the food and we Asked for silverware and she was gone before we could finish the sentence. How are they still in business?
(1)Kim And Bobby D.
I'm shocked on such a low star rating from Yelp. For being a neighborhood sports bar, Tailgaters is great! Food is yummy and affordable. Booze is cheap too! The staff is fun and friendly, large inviting place with patio and activities every night. I came on a Thursday and had a blast playing trivia (won $10 GC for 2nd place). Honey hot grilled wings, side salad and french dip were all very good!
(4)Katie N.
We haven't been here in years because the food was mediocre to kinda good, and the prices were not good. We did like that they served homemade chips as an appetizer for every table. They don't do that anymore. :o( We decided to try again, and we haven't written it off, but it's not high on our list, despite being only a mile away. My husband ordered a bacon cheeseburger on a pretzel bun. The bun was good, but the patty looked and tasted premade and was overcooked. I ordered the boneless wings plate with mild sauce. They tasted great, but they were far from crisp, and something about the texture of the chicken didn't jive. Next time I'll ask for the wings well done. We agreed that the garlic fries were good. Our daughter got a hot dog, and that was very good. Our son got the kid pizza, which had a pita for the crust. Neither child liked it, but that could just be them. He got fries with his pizza, which supposedly wasn't supposed to happen, so that was a nice surprise. They did forget the kids' desserts (which was Oreos in the past), but we let it go. We'll definitely go back on a Wednesday, when the kids eat free, but I doubt we'd go any other time. The proves are still too high for the quality.
(3)Trista W.
When we first moved into the neighborhood, we figured this would be "our" new bar. The first time we visited we sat at the bar and the bar tender was incredibly nice and attentive. The next time we sat at the bar months later she remembered us and asked us how our remodeling was going. The servers have always been attentive and very nice!! The manager is great at customer service as well. We came in at 9:50 one night and the waitress told us that the kitchen closed at 10. The manager asked how we were doing and my brother told him that we were just grabbing a beer because the kitchen is closed. He said no and went to the back for a minute. He came back with menus and told us they would make us food and if it was ok fried food would be easiest because they did start cleaning the grill. We spent an extra $60 or so because he corrected the problem for us! He was very apologetic and it really made our night better! The food is not too great. I usually just get the pretzels. However, the bacon wrapped shrimp is delicious!!! I thought with the new menu it would be better but it doesn't seem to be. For service I would give them a higher rating but for food I wouldn't.
(2)Chad J.
Worst sliders/burgers I have ever had. You could tell they were frozen, pre-made patties of low quality beef. They had grilled onions LOADED all over them to make matters worse. I have never wasted a hamburger before experiencing this nasty place.
(1)Julie W.
...
(1)shaun c.
Not as bad as people make it out to be, it's a locals bar and have a good following. Food is not bad and the service is friendly. The bartenders run the place and run it well.
(4)Secret S.
This place has really improved in the last two months. They've redone their menu and recipes. The good food stayed good and the bad ones were replaced with outstanding choices! The beer is ice cold, the wait staff more attentive and they added a pool table! I would give them five stars if: poker night took up less room, and sandwiches had MORE meat (or priced lower). Overall, fun place to hang out and throw back a few!
(4)Patrick D.
This place has gone downhill. We were excited to have a nice bar/pub near our neighborhood. We went there the first month they opened, it was great time awesome burgers and appetizers. Went back a month later menu totally changed and prices went up on what they kept on menu. Recently a friend ordered a french dip from there to go. Got home no Au jus and maybe 3 crapy slices if jerky dry meat. Ran back to get Au jus the hostess that may have been 18 yrs and 1 day old had no clue about Au jus with French dip. Friend had to dumb it down to her level " the brown sauce you dunk the sandwich in". Still got a stare of no clue, asked for manager. The dingy teen let her know she was the manager. Finally dingy hostess had someone from kitchen come out to talk. Explained the issue. Kitchen guy was like no problem ran back got Au jus and a box of fries for the inconvenience. If I was to go there would be for a beer they can't screw that up as long as it's cold.
(1)David O.
A great place to go and watch football on Sunday. Beer is cheap and super cold. Food is good (love the garlic fries). A lot better than the ratings show. Waitresses are friendly and super nice! Never a disappointment!
(5)Charissa G.
Why didnt I check yelp first? Was shopping nearby and was hungry at lunch time.. Stopped in, there was only a few people eating in there. There was one waitress, and service was pretty slow. My kids got burgers that were nothing special. I got the chicken salad and the meat was blah and had no flavor, the dressing was horrible.. I asked for extra dressing when I ordered and she charged .50 cents, Ive never been charged for extra salad dressing. I will not go again!! To many yummy restaurants in Gilbert and surrounding areas to have slow service and blah to yuck food!
(1)Chris L.
Good: Bar tenders are nice. Bad: The overly dunk people there. The HORRIBLE food they serve there. The bathrooms are disgusting. The wait staff is super SLOW! There you go. Don't ever go there if you want to have good food.
(1)Becky A.
Maybe this place isn't too bad for having some beers, but anything else....forget it. Service = horrible. Food = horrible. We will never, ever go back.
(1)The Rue D.
Tailgating is Okay By The Rue I ate dinner at Tailgaters last night, Pizza, go figure I didn't put up a fight, Coconut shrimp appetizers to start things off, The waitress said it was like crack, I scoffed. Bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with jalapeno and cream cheese, I'm not allergic to shelfish so I didn't sneeze, What seemed like a great idea and different for sure, They were too bacony, the flavor not pure. Peel off the bacon if you want to taste the flavor, Of the shrimp, cream cheese and jalapeno to savor, Pizza wasn't bad for a bar and grill, The kiltlifter was cold so I would go back still. The service was good and waitress was prompt, I certainly wouldn't ask her for a late night romp, Lot's of T.V.'s playing various sports, Would I go back here? "Yes" I would retort. Done
(3)Seth S.
I should have checked Yelp before coming here. Just save yourself the time and go somewhere else. Service was terrible!
(1)Krista P.
Very good customer service but cafeteria level food. It was very clean unlike other bar atmospheres. Not my favorite hangout for sure /:
(3)Sarah G.
Took 20 minutes before we were noticed by waitress. Very rude. She got our wing order wrong. My husband and I both ordered Philly cheesesteaks and the bread was dry and smelled moldy. The meat was Luke warm and had a funny taste. The wings (even though she never brought us the honey hot that we ordered) were the only decent part of our meal. Cheese curds were awful as well.
(1)James W.
Food was very bad.
(2)Alysia N.
Its ok. I've visited at least 10 times. Service has been slow every time, no matter time of day. Food is mediocre at best, and I can get beer any where. There are very good alternatives very close by that suit my tastes better.
(2)Lillie H.
Not the place to try for dinner in the area.. no wheat bread ??? Excuse me? The sourdough and marble rye were hard as bricks, good thing for mayo to soften the blow to the roof of your mouth which we did not escape without injury. Everything tasted and looked old. The boneless wings are somewhat interesting, they're not what you would expect and again tasted old and rubbery, maybe larger pieces in lieu of sad strips of thin meat would have cured my craving (but I guess we'll never know). I've been to this place for cocktails before and for that its a ideal.. for dinner? I would pass and pick up taco bell on your way back to civilization..
(2)Scott D.
The WORST experience in years. After eating their horrible food and then finding a discrepancy in the check, I waited with my 2 daughters and my son 30 minutes for the manager to finally make his way to the restaurant. Juan came to our table in his flip flops, basketball shorts and t shirt and was immediately rude. To make a long story short, he told me I was wrong and my family left bewildered by the worst customer service I've experienced in many years. I like to support local businesses, but this was a huge mistake. Do yourself a favor and go to one of the hundreds of other restaurants in the east valley.
(1)Holly B.
Fantastic place to go! Way better than the Thirsty Cactus!! Food is fantastic, beer is cheap, and the waitress is fab! Love this bar!
(5)Jimmy D.
I had the key lime chicken salad and it was bland...the chicken had the texture of dry wall. We had the wings and they were, at one time, excellent. I don't know if Tailgaters has changed the Chef or they are just buying low quality food. Until the food is upgraded to edible I will not be ordering from this place...The Limited, daily, specials are a joke. Just look at the Monday burger special...add the fries and the mandatory purchase of a drink and you save .09 cents. I hope that Tailgaters can get their act together soon. Service staff was excellent!
(1)Amy S.
Went back again... ugh. We took a seat at a high top in the bar and the waiter came up and greeted us very quickly - he was the only redeeming factor in this visit. We ordered an appetizer (spinach artichoke dip) and 2 entrees (the boyfriend ordered a massive lunchmeat style sandwich and I ordered a wrap). It all came out of the kitchen at the same time. Appetizer means "brought out before the food" right? *sigh* So, it was either let the entrees get cold or let the appetizer get cold. Lame. The wrap I ordered was the chicken caesar wrap and they could have very easily left the word "chicken" out of the name. There were about 8 very small pieces of chicken in the full-sized wrap. It was basically caesar dressed lettuce in a tortilla. Needless to say, I did not feel fulfilled at the end of my meal. I keep going back because the boyfriend likes their food, but the service is generally bad (not this time though) and their food is mediocre at best in my book. I'm going to have to find somewhere else I can talk him into going when he's in the mood for bar fare. Too bad there's not many good bars in our area. :(
(1)Nicole P.
The karaoke guy on Friday's is phenomenal, however, we were regulars here, both manager and waitress (who was new) admitted that we were great customers, yet we were charged for 4 drinks we did not order. The manager displayed very poor customer service skills, we had a massive amount of hair in a burger we ordered, cold fries, hard, dry wings and a very poor experience. After politely explaining the situation for over 15 minutes and respectively arguing the manager refused to void the portion of the bill for the drinks. So he would rather loose what he admitted were great customers (and it looks like we were some of the few, judging by the other reviews here) over a measly $30. We will have to find a new karaoke joint, bummer!
(1)D C.
Expensive bar food and mediocre service. When Tailgaters opened we were excited because it is close to our home. First experience was not good with poor service. Thought we'd give them a second chance month later, so four of us went for happy hour for appetizers (didn't over consume or even eat dinner) and were amazed that our bill was nearly $100!!! MANY better choices in the area than this place! Drive a few minutes longer to go somewhere else and you'll be happier.
(1)Susana S.
What's not to like? Let's start with the food. Was that really hummus? I think it may have been Elmer's glue! What's next you say? The bartender that crawls around on the beer coolers like a lonely stripper at an airport titty bar? Is there more? But of course! A poor beer selection, 35 min. wait for hummus aka glue and a, let's be fair to them, really stinky bathroom! On the up side if you happen to get trashed they will arrange a free ride home. The bartender may even go with you for a few dollars more! That's worth a star, maybe 2.

The venue looks nice, new, shiny and the HDTV's are bright and plentiful. The staff... it's not that they're unfriendly because they seem nice and everything but the attentiveness at times is lacking. Tonight I watched two different couples walk in and stand there for a while while before one of the staff left other staff members and greeted them and seated them. Me, I just walk into a hightop and sit but they were an older couple and I think waiting for some response. They have wine for the chicks and a fairly good beer selection as well as a whole separate 1-pager dedicated to hotdogs. I can't stop eating the Big Unit one... I mean you put a good healthy strip of smoked bacon on a big beef hotdog and you're goin to win some friends - I'm just saying. I want to try other ones but I keep defaulting to that one - soo good. Also I asked and they do show UFC fights - $5 cover which I think is reasonable but they don't offer any specials during events like that - hey it is a biz but it'd be cool to knock a buck off or something. I think any special, little or not has a positive effect on ones opinions of a place. It's a decent place don't get me wrong but I don't feel that welcoming neighborhood feeling when I'm there... It's clean and there are people there just not feelin it. S.E. Gilbert needs some help on its own but hopefully Tailgaters Grill can get the ball rollin.

This place is hard to describe. The food and surroundings is a solid 3. There is potential for this place to be amazing though with all of the flat screens showing off their high def sports. I see what they are going for. Service was good, but the buffet was lacking - they need to stay on top of it. They do have a pretty big food selection, and a good kids menu. We will probably not be back to this place unless I need a last minute spot to get some wings and watch the game in a crunch.

Met up with a few friends for a Sunday night chat about our vacation. Aside from my total snafu when the server brought me the incorrect wine ("is cabernet white?) and recovering from my slight and unintentional rudeness, the place was solid. I think the decor is fabulous (all dark wood and bar tables) and the flat screens could convince me to enjoy a football game there. However, the Sunday night poker tourney took over the bar that night...and it was a bit distracting. The server was fine and the food was fine. The hot dog list is awesome, however - named and typed after a few of the most well known baseball teams. The side offerings are ample (sweet potato fries, regular fries, garlic, side salad, etc) and the food was quick and hot. The atmosphere was totally decent and I think we'll go back...'specially since the options in Gilbert can be limited.

So we just moved into the neighborhood, literally down the street from Tailgaters, and I was excited to check it out, especially since my husband loves sports and loves bars. :) We've been a handful of times now, and each time it's an "OK" experience. The food is "OK" and the service is "OK". I do like the fact that they have poker and other events throughout the week (i.e. karaoke), so we'll still frequent the place, but I have to say that it's not my favorite local bar, even though it's the closest. I'd much rather drive the extra 5 minutes to Uncle Bear's.

My husband and I were searching for a great place to watch some football while enjoying your favorite American food. This is the place. When you walk inside it is open and airy as opposed to the usual dark and divey feel that some sports bar and grills have. Their bar is alongside a large glass door that can roll open to the patio outside, and the restaurant portion of the building has numerous TV's for any viewing angle and has a combination of booths and tables for larger groups, which with their ample space in the building, there is plenty of room for. The food was very good. This is one of the few places that offers cheeses curds (they are a must), and their wings were a little small, but very meaty making up for it's lack of size. The burgers though are the real stars. They chargrill the meat till juicy and put them on hefty buns with fresh toppings that make the burger taste as good as it looks. Everything we have tried hit the mark. The only exception was their pizzas. They tasted a little too store bought and not enough originality for even a sports bar. The service was prompt, and the owner can be seen visiting with various customers, and he actually visited with us and told us he was tweaking the menu to make the food the star of his restaurant. I highly recommend Tailgater's Grill!

Just a bar with some tvs. A tad small, but has a lil outside area. Bartender was super friendly. Prolly cool for a sports game. Smelled a bit funny, but I can't imagine that's always the case.

We went in last night before 6 PM and they were playing music with masturbation lyrics and F bombs in every song. There were a lot of kids in the place!! The food here is horrible, we came again tonight to give it a shot. Party of seven, wings were cold, cheese not melted on the fries, burger overdone, the place is sub par to say the least. Won't be back, sad because its 5 minutes away.

After reading everyone else's reviews we were skeptical but decided to try it anyways. We went with intention of having some drinks and relaxing. Its nice inside, lots of tvs, pleasant bartender and cold beer. We did try some of the food and was as expected....its bar food. I thought for Gilbert area its not a bad place to get a drink.

We've been to this place 3 times only because it's close to us. First time had good street tacos at happy hour. Second time food and service were not good at all. So, we stopped in one last time for a drink.... Will never go back! Immediately after we sat down we noticed a rotten smell so after we ordered water and a beer, we asked the waitress what the smell was because it smelled like sewage. She said you get used to the smell after a while and yes, it was the sewer smell! We canceled the drink order after hit the door!

Food wasn't that great. Nothing was fresh. Burgers were premade and frozen, fries came from a frozen bag, chili came from a can, rolls were bought from a store. Service was slow. Won't be coming back.

Wanted to try a new place besides BWW (Buffalo Wild Wings) for UFC, huge mistake picking this place. Not only did we hate it but now we're afraid to try any place but BWW for UFC...or anything for that matter. Food was subpar at best. Margaritas didn't have enough tequila in them to loosen up a five year old. No one knew how to switch the fight over from Spike to pay per view so we got to enjoy ten minutes of Crocodile Dundee. They finally switched the video to the fight so now we get to watch fighting and listen to Crocodile Dundee for another five minutes. Then of course the audio cut in and out on regular intervals the entire night. So now we're ready to pay the bill and get the hell out of their. The waitress brings us the bill, 57 and change for food and drinks. We give her our credit card, she comes back with a new bill that's ten bucks higher and says there is a five dollar cover to watch the fights. Is that not some crap you tell someone before they have a lousy meal and a lousy night at your place? So the manager (I'll describe him based on how rude he was to us, he's a beer bellied guy with greasy looking hair with the appearance of being homeless. Needless to say I was shocked to find out he was the manager but it did explain a lot) comes over and says he won't take it off because that money is to pay for their "system",....huh? Even if it were to pay for their "system", the "system" completely sucks. He argued with me that the sign is on the door and I should have read it. So anyway; lousy service, crappy food, horrible sound system. We'll absolutely never go back.

Wanted to find a sports bar to watch the 2nd half of the niners-pack game. My expectations after perusing Yelp were pretty low. Well it took our waitress about 15 mins to get me a beer. Food came pretty slow as well. My only positives are that the food was hot, and the beer was cold. Chicken strips were rubbery and potato skins were kinda greasy. They could do better. As I am new to the neighborhood, I am looking for a local sports bar and Tailgaters isn't looking like the place.

My wife and I have been here twice...it's ok. We had wings and a burger and food was pretty decent. Service is extremely slow during a UFC fight, but also during a slow night. Its your average bar/grill. Nothing special.
(3)Frank C.
Staff is friendly I ordered st tacos and mac cheese as a side. Reheated microwaved mac cheese please! I can get that at home and not pay $8. I don't get it. Location and staff is the only thing that saves this place. The only reason to go to this place is its close to home.

I cannot believe people are really going to this place. People do yourself a favor and spend your hard earn money elsewhere...............

Can't get much worse food, more overpriced drinks and sterile service.

I like to start my reviews on a positive note... The beer was cold, the flat panels are ample, but that is all this place has going for itself. I appreciate the location of Tailgaters, but must say they need to change a few things to gain my loyal patronage. First off, the food is not worth eating. I have ordered from their menu on several different occasions, including their opening night with not a single enjoyable meal. Unfortunate, the place has so much potential, but has not put enough emphasis on good, enjoyable food. Next, is the external decor. I don't know if the owners truly believe that the obnoxious lettering in neon colors is truly gaining any customers, but it is not attractive. It truly cheapens the place and makes most people decline to even enter it. My recommendation is to keep the beer cold, I am sure I will be back for a few more, but stop cooking... Your food is not worth the electricity it takes to fire up the stoves...

Horrible food and overpriced beer. What else can I say? Ok the bartender was cute I suppose but that quickly did not matter as she could care less that we were there.
(1)Tray B.
I've had several items on their menu and have been let down each time. Serving portions are very small. The many HDTVs are a definite plus tho!!
(2)Judi M.
Getting noticed when you first arrive may take awhile. The wait staff is also slow and not to "with the program". It looks nice inside and has a nice outside patio. The food is pretty good...if you can get someone to take your order. I would not suggest doing any take-out from them.
(2)Rebekha Y.
The service was great and the pizza was better. I enjoyed their variety of beverages. We'll go back again soon.

Been there a couple times on a UFC night, and tonight was the first time they decided to throw a secret cover charge on our bill. WTF? The $5 per person fee, fine what ever but to throw it on our tab with out even a warning. If I knew there would be a charge I would go to buffalo wild wings where I know what to expect, not much. Any way mediocre food that you have to wait a while for. Decent drink prices, but you will have to wait for it. No clean glasses for like 10 minutes, hire a bar back, what ever! Look go there if you want, most people go there because frankly there's not much else. So take my review for what its worth, but I won't be back.
(1)Morgan H.
This place has a nice small bar feel but still delivers all the amenities. I frequent Tailgaters during UFC events but I also enjoy non event days as well.The food is above average for bar food and the staff is great. I recommend this place and you get what you pay for.

umm, not even worth typing a review,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :(

Looks nice. The mediocre service started as we entered, when it took a person standing at the host station a little bit to notice and seat us. It then took our waitress 3 visits to tables surrounding us to come by and take drink orders even though we were ready to order. The tables around us got drinks and refills before our came out 2 at a time. After taking the order we did not see her again, literally until the food came out 1 at a time. It took 3 times trying to get her attention before walking over to another occupied table to get what appeared to me the only mustard on the place. The food was average and over priced for a bar and grill. The manager was to busy talking to other tables to help and them dealing with others with complaints to get to us. We said something to another couple leaving and they said service is getting better. I am not sure this place will me open long enough for service to improve.
(1)Robert W.
Decent crowd fun atmosphere, Didn't get to try the food? Watch out for adding gratuity on bill. we had a four top of all drinks and got autograted??? ROOKIE move server would of got a bigger tip than the auto grat. Oh Well her loss
(1)Blake T.
Once again lackluster. I goofed by going to the wrong place to watch UFC, in which they didn't have it. Out of despiration ended up here. Was surprised to get a seat inside with one of my friends, only to be told to move outside cuz they were reserved, thanks !! Ordered the appetizer platter, which was reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. Also, the fried zuchini is really good, the stuffed mushrooms I think they are called are good, the cheese curds are good. You also get chicken wings and potato skins which are pratically inedible. Do they try there food, I mean they cook it. The potato skins don't even taste like potatoes and they feel like they could have been frozen, thank goodness they give you sour cream so you can get it down your throat. The chicken wings, I have no idea what sauce that is, maybe it's called disgusting. Hopefully I won't end up back here evn out of despiration.

Tried this after a huge fail down the street on a Friday afternoon, for a quick dinner with me and the kids. Place was neat enough and we were greeted quickly and warmly. Seated right away. Staff was very friendly, our waitress was funny and very attentive and checked back with us quite often. Food was mediocre. I had a Philly steak sandwich that was a bit small on a roll about a day past fresh, the cole slaw was kinda nasty. My son had a hot dog that he liked, but he didn't like the fries. I tried them, they weren't bad... bar fries. My other son had chicken fingers, that were overly breaded and a bit hard. He loved the fries. Boys enjoyed the deep fried twinkie (who wouldn't?). I'd probably go back and sit in the bar and watch a game maybe, but it won't be for the food.

A friend of ours suggested we meet here although we didn't know what to expect. We LOVED it. Plenty of TV's and we were very entertained by the Karaoke bar! The food is great, the drinks are great and the service is outstanding. This is without a doubt one of the best sports bar we have ever been to and it is right around the corner from Power Ranch!
