But his passion has always remained rooted in the family owned restaurant business his parents started in South Dakota, and now he has come full circle to fulfill his dream of having his own restaurant/​bar with Nabers in Chandler.

My friends and I come here on Fri or Sat night to see the great bands that play here — Ryan Sims, Desert Dixie, the Walkens, Nineball. Its always a blast. I’ve been here at least 10 times and I live in Scottsdale. Its worth the drive. Its a mix of various ages. (we’re in our 40’s)
Food is really good but service is often slow, that’s why they only got 4 stars.

Good place for dinner or just drinks. Not a huge country fan so prefer the patio, not as loud. Good specials.

We went to this place when it was mostly empty, so I was concerned. But the beer selection was pretty good, local craft and other interesting and solid choices. 15 in all. The waitress got a kick out of the appetizer that involved balls, but it was really just mashed potatoes in fried balls. Nothing to get excited about.
They have this giant bacon burger with bacon in and on top of the burger patty. It has a fried egg on it as well. It was the bomb. It was huge, like a child’s head.
Staff seems pretty fun, a little weird but that’s OK. I’m weird too. The prices were a little high, with three of us spending close to $ 90 on three meals, one appetizer, and a few drinks. To be fair though, we went with entrées and not the lunch specials. Those were six dollars I think.

Country atmosphere, lots of flat screen tv’s all around for patrons to view their favorite venue. A little on the pricey side for lunch, but worth it. We elected to order off the menu instead of taking advantage of their $ 6 lunch specials. They serve large entrée portions, huge Mason Jar beverages and the service was excellent. Had a Group On, $ 24 for $ 40 worth of food. Didn’t realize it was for 4 people to eat & we had 3. Manager was nice & honored our Group On, we payed the balance after the $ 40 discount was subtracted. We left with smiles on our face & full belly’s. Thank you Nabers for your generosity.

I couldn’t give this place more than one star even though I wanted to. In fact, I don’t write many reviews and I had to take a moment to write this. I’m still feeling sick from my nasty burger. I think the cook may have lost the lid off salt shaker– each bite was like licking a block of salt and trust me, I like things salty. The service was some of the worst I’ve ever experienced. Our group of eight arrived together and we were seated right away. 2 people in our group got their food right away and the rest of us waited 45 minutes and we only ordered burgers.
My burger was disgusting! I ordered the one with the bacon, over easy egg and onion strings. The egg was like a rubber disk and the yolk was hard! It was way too salty for even me to eat. We didn’t complain and still they realized how they screwed us over. Four of us didn’t even take more than 2 –3 bites because it was so gross (and we’re not snobs). They only offered us one free dessert for the whole table!
They should have had the manager come to apologize and comped the meals that took forever and given us all dessert, at least that’s what I would’ve done. I haven’t even begun to tell you the entire story. Go ahead and give it a try and come back on Unilocal and write a review that say’s «I should have listened to some of those negative reviews.»

My mom and I stopped in early June for her birthday we did not eat any food but we grabbed a drink or two and listened to the live band. We had a blast, people working there were great, very easy going crowd. We were told It was a little slow for a weekend night but we didn’t mind one bit. They had a ping pong table which we both played a few games before they had to pack it up to make room for dancing and the band. The band that night was a great county band Young Country, I believe was the name. Drinks just a little on the pricey side but still good. They should roll out a few more drink specials. Definitely gonna head back there soon for some more dancing and live music.

We really excited for the Bloody Mary bar they advertised on weekends. We got there Sunday around 10:30, and the hostess told us they didn’t open until 11. We verified they served breakfast and had a Bloody Mary bar and her response was «oh yes absolutely». So we decided to wait in the parking lot for 35 minutes until they opened. When we got back in she informed us that they actually don’t serve breakfast or have a Bloody Mary bar anymore. Needless to say we were furious that we wasted a half hour sitting next in the parking lot. Won’t go back there

Love this place. Food is great and staff is super friendly. Will keep coming back. Came on Father’s Day and they had a great special for the dads. The pulled pork potato skins are amazing.

We visited Nabers early in the year and we liked the place and the food very much They have an original menu. Jannelle took good care of us but I did not find them very friendly for low carb.
I had ordered a hamburger with lettuce leaves instead of bun, they just got me the hamburger without bun, no lettuce.
I had also ordered an appetizer with the sauce on the side. They forgot that important part (the sauce was sweet)… oh well.
What I could eat was very good though…

My husband and I just enjoyed a pleasant, relaxing meal out on the patio at Nabers. Our bartender/​server, Philip, was awesome! He was personable and attentive. We enjoyed our $ 4 beers (the Oak Creek Nut Brown Ale was fantastic!) and our happy hour appetizers. We split the caprese bruschetta and the sliders combo. I enjoyed the unique slider choices, especially the brat/​jalapeño/​cheese and the pulled pork with gold BBQ sauce and potato salad on a bun. Good pub grub, but nothing to shout about, so we’ll give it 4 stars. We will definitely be back!

Great fun lively atmosphere, decent food, good old rock music then live band in the evening. Burger was good, a tad over cooked. Wife had a good salad.
I felt the potions were on the small side and the prices on the higher side. Bring both of those the other way and this place is a solid 4 stars.
That said, we’ll be back ! ;-)

Great music here… it’s too bad no one gets up and dances though.
Good place to bring friends and catch up. Decent drink choices, I don’t like the food at all though (I’ve tried it many times, I gave up).
I am really surprised they aren’t busier, I know they sure do try. It might help a little if their marketing material wasn’t in a size 3 font and has enough information on it to fill a whole book. Keep it simple, the country way.

I am not reviewing their food or drinks because I came out there Thursday to see if dancing would be a possibility.
The place is very dance unfriendly, despite the fact that they advertise dancing on their front sign.
Their layout is totally wrong to foster a dance culture. To make matters worse the floor is an awful painted cement that is dirty and sticky. Ick!
And the live country music, although good, wasn’t dance music. Dudes, get a drummer and bass player.
I got there about 8:15 and it was very dead. A few couples sitting at tables but no hint of anyone that could dance. Of course that figures, because anyone that knows how to dance wouldn’t come there. Duh!
Why would somebody invest so much money to open a place that is guaranteed to lose on what it claims to be — music and dance?

Food still great. Entertainment «Top Notch» service great. The food here is definitely not typical bar food. Selection and taste is great. Have had a number of the menu items and each was well prepared, well plated and tasty. The staff is friendly and attentive to customer requests and service. This is one of the only venues in the area with music 5 nights a week. The have their own special Nabers Ale and a Bloody Mary with a bacon garnish. Plenty of parking and a fun clientele. Worth the stop.

This place is country. And I had no idea.
Our waiter was great. Very good customer service.
And they know how to serve a Guinness. Snaps some places fail!
Nachos were more like bag of random chips slaughtered in toppings. Not what I was expecting and I am nto a nacho fan (the rest of the table wanted this) so No docked points from thsi because I am biased Anti Nacho.
The Bruschetta was great. :D Really hit the spot. I was so happy!

Walked into an empty place and we stood at the ‘wait to be seated’ sign for a good four minutes before asking the nice guy at the bar if it’s self seating. A girl came out from behind a wall and seated us. She was also our server. Apparently the only one and ill equipped to give even basic customer service. I watched 4 other groups wait awkwardly at the front before being greeted.
Cheese curds are great. The table also had: –meatloaf sliders: good but only need one. They’re really rich.
–Pulled Pork sandwich: pork was good, on the dry side though.
–shrimp po boy: dry, nothing held it together, had to eat with a knife and fork.
–French fries: standard
Not good enough to return… first impressions matter.

Very very cool places! Prices were decent and anywhere I can find cheese curds on the menu is ok in my book! The Friday fish fry was great (can you tell my fiancé and I are from the Midwest?) and the burger was pretty good as well. Service was great and restaurant was very clean! We like country music so we also thought it was cool that it was a country themed bar. We will be back!

Um, no.
The service is ok but the food is not 4 stars. Happy hour isn’t anything to write home to mom about. Only $ 3 off food that is priced pretty high.
It’s just ok.

The service was really good and the prices were great for the quality food that they serve. My only issue is the country music playing. I wish I could give 4.5 stars.

I came here for happy hour with my ladies the other day. We had a pretty big group so we sat on the patio.
We ordered the AZ rolls and the hummus plate. The hummus plate was good and really huge! I wasn’t too fond of the az rolls. I think it was because it was mixed with a couple different cheeses maybe? For drinks I just got the merlot. I should’ve gotten a beer. They have 20 ounce beers for $ 4! They have a very huge selection of happy hour items that last until 7.
The thing that got me was they don’t have ranch! How does a restaurant serve wings and salads and such and not have ranch! I’m a ranch girl, so I need my ranch with my wings, salads or fries. My meal came with a jalapeño ranch. Um how did they make that if they don’t have ranch? Because of this, they get a three star from me.
