Peg and I took another couple to PCG for brunch and it was superb! Eric was our server and he made the experience smooth and professional even for a Sunday brunch! The food was consistently good and this is always a go/to spot!! While the room is large there is a sense of intimacy and easy for conversation. A return for either a casual or formal occasion!

Had a working lunch here and really enjoyed! They had a number of lunch specials and unfortunately 3 of them sold out which was a bummer since most of our group was focusing on those items but the menu had plenty to choose from. I loved the shoestring fries and my eggplant sandwich was a winner. Portions were large, no one finished their plate. Service was great and meals flavorful, I would come back !

Service was ok. We sat in the bar. Seems bartender was either distracted or had too many people to handle. We weren't checked on enough and a couple of items ordered were forgotten and had to remind him. Food was delicious though. Atmosphere was nice and inviting. Would go back.

11/2/24 - Short version: Wonderful experience! Absolutely no complaints. The food was fantastically seasoned, came out hot, great plate display, service w/ Karla was top-notch, and it is a very laid back restaurant. Definitely will go back. Longer version: stopped in this particular Saturday around 3:45. There are a quite few parking spots on the east side but even more parking available to the north, thanks to its location in a strip mall. Karla came over quickly after being seated and took our drink order. So there is one complaint actually: the special cocktail (Clarified Kentucky Sour) was not available until 5:00. LOL! No worries, we were there long enough to get it. The eggplant bites were thin and crunchy, the Danish ribs were spicy and fell off the bone, as did the short ribs (they were not spicy). The green Chile cornbread was not inundated with chiles, the mashed taters were creamy with a small amount of herbs to add a touch of flavor. All the cocktails were excellent (the PCG designed into the bourbon ice cube is a classy touch), even the non-alcoholic passion punch was tasty. The desserts were over the top. That buttermilk pie was to die (in hindsight, I should have ordered one to go), the apple crumble pie was so damn good, and oh man, that bread pudding was mouth-watering good. NO RAISINS! I have always been picky about bread pudding, only ever loving my Mom's old old Better Crocker recipe. Well, PCG's recipe was the closest thing to it. It was dense and flavorful. I could have easily eaten the whole thing (it's a small serving) but I wanted to save some for later -- which was extremely hard to do. ;-) Our server, Karla, was exceptional. She was funny, attentive, and very interactive with us. She kept heckling me about my distaste for raisins, and joking with us about hassling the bar tender for our 5 o'clock scheduled Kentucky sour special. PCG is lucky to have her, and we were blessed to have her for the short time we did. If you have not tried PCG, why the heck are you waiting?! Go. Now.

I really enjoyed my outing at Phoenix City Grille. The ambiance was cool, I sat in the bar area and it didn't look very crowded/during the time that I went. My waitress, Kenzie was amazing, she has really great customer service skills. I ordered; Sparkling sangria - this was so good Bacon wrapped shrimp - this was amazing Carne Asada tacos - good Brussel sprouts hash - good I recommend trying the above and checking out Phoenix City Grille

Bubbly, friendly, and delightful service experience with Kenzie is what I enjoyed during happy hour here with my sister. Every stop at the table to check on us she presented a beautiful smile and awesome hospitality. I will be checking for her the next time I dine here. Her service was off the charts. I was hoping the bar could make a chocolate martini but I was advised that they don't stock some of the ingredients to make it. So I asked Kenzie about the 'house' martini's that were on the happy hour menu and she made some suggestions. I ended up trying the blueberry lemon martini. It was delicious. The happy hour tacos were good. The Carne Asada was well seasoned and super tender. I tried the brussel sprout hash which was very tastey. It put me in mind of a veggie dish I would make at home. I hope to visit again to try the grass-fed ribeye.
