Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers

I’m not to fond of the environment. It seems. Not dingy, but divey. I think if they made this place a bit more modern it could be awesome! Anyways, the cutest little thing named Tara was our server and she was super sweet and attentive regardless of the many tables she seemed to be tending to. The burgers were delicious of course, but the shakes were even better!!! Definitely recommend and will definitely be back!

Good food, lousy service. My waitress was too busy flirting with the guys to pay me any attention. I wouldn’t go back.

I’ve been here 3 times and have been negligent in updating Unilocal and fillin’ y’all in… whoops.
Went the latest time for lunch on Friday with my hubby. We ordered burgers suggested on the menu because we remembered the last time we wanted a create-​your-​own type and had to fill out some stupid form.
Filling out a form to request your toppings on a burger or in Mac and cheese? :/​Um, why have waitresses at all?
The burgers are fine. Nothing to get excited about and no reason to make a special trip. They do offer quite a few burger recipes/​suggestions on their menu, which is nice. Especially of you don’t want to have to fill out the card and do the waitresses job for her.
Staff-They’re always polite. And, again, fine. The times I’ve been they’ve been young and just need some guidance to help develop their customer service skills… like bring extra napkins when you’re serving a burger or food that requires eating with your hands, checking on you after the food item is delivered to make sure it was cooked properly, tastes good and the general «can I bring you anything else» (I may want Mayo or may have used all of the ketchup provided at the table).
Music-​We were there at lunch on a weekday. Not only did it seem a little loud, but it had way too much bass. I felt like they were going for the nightclub feel. At lunch. In a sports bar. On a weekday.
Maybe I’m just old. (shrugging)
Are their potato chips home made? They sure we’re tasty. Tater tots are okay, too. To me it’s always good to have tater tots as an option.

Good times and great food. Bartender Lance is always fun and takes care of you! Loved the atmosphere and the music was pleasant!

Such great food! I love building my own burger! You can never go wrong with ordering anything off their menu!!! You should definitely try the buffalo dip!!! Also, sit at the bar because we find that they have faster service at there. Sometimes it takes a while to get your food, but overall nice people work there and are happy to help you.

Very good… we keep coming back, the food is very good. The Asian salad is delicious. Tons of chicken. Well run restaurant, I highly recommend.

Really a 2.5 but not a 3
Decent burgers; ok beer
20 (yes 20!) TVs blaring while I am trying to eat a decent burger is not the place for me. YOu can’t sit inside and not escape the TVs.

Have since gone back for Happy Hour a few times and was quite satisfied with the food and pricing. We always sit at the bar and everytime it’s taken the bartender a few minutes to acknowledge us but once they did it was great the rest of the visits. We will continue HH visits.

Along with this location, the restaurant in Old Town Scottsdale deserves the same praise. Friendly servers as well as great beers and tasty food. The manager on shift always makes it a point to stop by the table making sure everything is accurate.

I live around the corner, so naturally I find myself in here a lot. Okay service. Food comes out in a decent amount of time. Beers are way better than the burgers. Truffle fries are way too salty, but that could be just personal taste. All in all, an ok joint that I’m thankful to live across the street from. Wish they had a cool happy hour or something.

I had heard of this place and was excited to try it… on trivia night no less. They had an endless list of beers to try, I settled on a Stella. For dinner I had one of their hotdogs and a caesar salad as a side. The food was decent. The trivia was really fun! Nice atmosphere, great place to hang out with friends!

SHAME ON YOU!
They charge a $ 1.50 more for what they call a big beer vs the standard 16 ounce pint! So dishonest and deceitful! We should all hang up and put this place out of business. I am pretty sure they will be closed by the end of the year. The place was less than ½ full on a Saturday. All they really serve are $ 12+ burgers that are average at best.
SHAME ON YOU FOR RIPPING OFF YOUR CUSTOMERS.

I’d just like to give an update and another 5 stars. We went on an insane Friday night last week. The place was packed, no tables except the patio (which was where we wanted to sit). Drunken middle aged hilarity everywhere. We picked a table outside and waited. A few servers stopped by to tell us our server would be right with us, grab us water, etc.
We were finally approached by a tiny blonde named Jessie who was awesome. She was slammed with other tables and was patient with my boyfriend who couldn’t pick a beer. We ordered and waited. His burger (Juicy Lucy) came out medium rare instead of well done. He took a few bites, but looked sick (loves his burgers charred). I called her over and explained what happened. She handled it like a pro, made sure he kept his chips to snack on and whisked it away to get it remade. She showed up no more than 10 minutes later with a fresh burger, an explanation of what happened in the kitchen, another apology and bought him a beer on top of it– which was not necessary.
We are so seriously impressed with not only the food and drink, but the service. Please give Jessie (sp?) our regards as she is a great server.

Since I was in the mood for s burger, decided to look for someplace nearby that I have not tried yet and came across Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers which is located off Shea but was hidden away in a small retail center.
Upon arriving, found that they have a great bar setup with patio seating (including at the bar with the wall open) as well as the usual selection of tables and booths inside.
Was promptly welcomed and seated by the staff.
The drink menu is pretty extensive especially for beer drinkers, so take your time and check out both the draught list as well as bottled selection.
Yes, they carry a lot of the mass market beers (you know who they are) as well as many of the craft labels they have acquired, fortunately there is a decent selection from both local and other independent craft brewers available as well.
Burgers? Another area that offers a wide selection of options including a B.Y.O.B. (build your own burger, no bring your own booze).
Tried their Prime Rib Burger which was AWESOME!!!
Heaping of sliced prime rib on top of a nice thick burger patty, cooked exactly as I had requested (can’t image how difficult that actually is).
Another thing that helped me decide to try CBC was the sweet (potato) tots on their menu since I can not eat regular potatoes anymore.
Want to jazz it up? Ask for a side of their buffalo sauce (guessing homemade), just be warned that when dipping hot tots into the sauce, you could inhale vinegar & pepper fumes combined with the spicy heat can make you cough on the first mouthful.
Anyways, I think I have found another place to to add to my top 5 favorite burger and beer joints here in Scottsdale!

This is a great spot! They have a great selection of beer and burgers. I’ve also had some other sandwich items and they’ve always been great. Our experience with service has always been friendly and we probably come once a week since we live so close! I would defiantly recommend. Looking to try something new? Try the Bacon PB &J burger. ;) yum!

Overpriced mediocre food.
Mac and cheese night was a bust with the wrong order delivered then in attempt to make it right undercooked mac and cheese delivered. It was a bowl of watery pasta with our choice of toppings. It was soup really. So gross. I couldn’t even eat it.
Fries and onion rings ordered were good. That got two stars.
Our waitress was fine when we finally had someone come by the table. My boyfriend started at the bar and when i got there we moved to a table. after 15 minutes at a table I had to go to the hostess and ask for a server on the patio.
The manager did come over and offer gift cards to make up for the Mac and cheese but sadly this wasn’t our first non-​stellar service here so we probably won’t be back.

3.5 stars.
Came in on weekend lunch, they didn’t seem that crowded but it seems under staffed the day I came in.
I ordered Jucy Lucy for my lunch. I had one at the originally invented location in Minneapolis several years ago and I though here tasted better. Perhaps difference in meat quality? Very large meat, about a half was all I could finish.
My friend ordered veggie burger. Patti was so consistent couldn’t tell it was a veggie burger. I also got to taste it and surprisingly it was so juicy, one of better veggie burger I had.
I would rate 2 stars for service. I told the server as soon as I sat down that we were short on time. I don’t think she did anything to help us expedite. When we asked for a check, she didn’t have it ready and we had to wait. Whenever we needed something, she was nowhere to be found.
Nice ambiance with lots of TV. This place is designed for those who want to enjoy cold beer while watching TV. Not for a quick lunch.

The food wasn’t bad, but it isn’t a place to take a family. My sons and I (3 of us) have been here several times, but the prices are too steep for a family. Each time it was at least a $ 65 bill for lunch! That’s my only real complaint. Not like we were ordering drinks and deserts, we weren’t.
The sliders are great, big points on those. The burgers were a bit greasy, but what can one expect… I think the chef ought to try Umami burgers in L.A.
Fries were fine.
Too noisy though. But it is s sports bar. I think the open bay concept simply help amplify the noise.

Great happy hour offers. Awesome food quality. And the beer … just the best!
So if you need a great bar after work or as a good start of the night, this is the place to go

Some people like pickles and some people don’t. I hate pickles! The smell and taste are just awful to me. I went with my wife and kiddo and we ordered a bunch of food. I got the burger that is on the happy hour menu and I asked for it with no pickles. Shocker I know. Well it had pickles on it. Usually I will just take them off and it will be okay but these pickles must have been in some very potent pickle juice because all i could taste was pickle. Needless to say I didn’t eat it. I tried to give some to my little guy (toddler) but he didn’t want it. He was content with mac & cheese, pretzels, and chicken strips.
When the server, Carley, finally came around to check on us (she took are order and never came back) I told her we needed the check and I asked her if she put «no pickles» on the order. She said she did, and she saw the pickles sitting right there. She said she would ask the manager what she could do. It turns out nothing what the answer! How do you mess up someones order and then not take care of it. They didn’t take it off the bill, or offer to make me a new one, or a dessert or anything.
