                        Great overall job as usual. Austin and the bar staff are very attentive and make great recommendations on did and beverages. The Carne asada tacos are one of the best things on the menu! The ribs were good but I felt I was eating two different sets of ribs. The top portion the ribs fell off the bone! The bottom portion was not as done.

                        A new menu shows some ‘trend’ tendencies, which could be a sign of change for the sake of change. Jury is out. Dropping the popular Baja Shrimp is not likely to go well. Even the waitstaff thought it an odd change. Still a solid and comfortable local spot.

                        We had reservations at 7 PM. We were advised that they were out of the two items we wanted: Halibut and Ribs. We were so frustrated, but it was too late to go somewhere else. Had to settle for other items. Very disappointed…
                        Phoenix City GrilleResponded on January 13, 2025
                        Julie thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment you experienced during your recent visit. As a scratch kitchen, we take pride in preparing fresh, high-quality dishes daily, and while we strive to anticipate demand, there are times—especially on very busy evenings—when we may run out of certain items, particularly our daily specials or most popular selections like the Halibut and Ribs. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been, and we’re truly sorry we didn’t have your preferred choices available. We appreciate your understanding and hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide a better experience next time. Warm regards, Dennis Phoenix City Grille Team

                        We have been going here for many years and have yet to be disappointed in either the food or service. Hope to go many more times. Couple of items we really like are the Salmon and the Pork tenderloin.

                        My husband and I had both burgers and they were absolutely fresh and delicious. I also had the best margarita that I've ever had before. I asked our server, Jonah for the menu to see if I can replicate it at home.
