Guests appreciate the "great service" and "beautiful patio," though some find the dining room noisy. Enjoy a diverse menu, including brunch with a BBQ twist, and the inviting outdoor seating.

Out of our party of 6, two people reported their meat was a little dry. The wings were excellent. Great service from Dominique and supporting staff. Overall very good experience and we’ll be back.

Then we dined in Sunday night and the service/server was so rude, and we could tell he did not want us there. We had a reservation at 8:30pm we got there early and ordered, then our friends showed up at 8:45 and ordered drinks and our server told us the kitchen closed in 10 minutes and never came back to take their order. Our food was cold and under seasoned. Just really disappointed.

I am so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your first two experiences. However, I am also disappointed to hear about your last visit. After speaking with your server, I believe I understand the miscommunication. After explaining about the time limit with the kitchen, knowing your group was coming from a post event dinner, and taking an order for drinks only, they believed your party was not interested in dinner. I apologize for the miscommunication. Communicating effectively and ensuring all of our guests needs are met is absolutely our responsibility. I am very sorry that was not your experience. I have removed that round of drinks from your tab and you should see the adjustment on your statement shortly.

Prompt seating, immediate table service, and always checking in. We were seated at 6:15 and out by 7:00. From the first time we found Liberty Station in Scottsdale AZ to now we have always had an amazing experience.

The waitress was amazing and ensured that we had plenty of food and beverages while also giving us time to spend together. The BBQ food was obviously smoked well and the flavor was amazing. My only regret is not discovering this restaurant sooner. I will definitely be back again soon.

Eggs are done quiet well, in all dishes, but the breakfast burrito needs a little pizzaz…maybe a side of salsa. Nice folks working, and nice atmosphere.
