Mesquite Grill and Sports Bar

Friend recommended we meet here on a Sunday at 11am, she even said not to worry about there being a wait cuz there never is a wait… now I know why.
Only server is the owner and she’s down right rude. Food is average for the price. Place is not just outdated but falling apart.
I’m all about helping the little guy/​locally owned but come on… you gotta at least try.
PS-​Male/​husband owner was nice.

Shame on me. My wife and I have been putting up with the breakfast Nazi for years. Today rather than eating at that arches we came to patronize Mrs rude. My wife needs sugar in the AM, this fine establishment does not serve sweet tea. So the Nazi makes her own rude remark, she has no reasoning skills. She also came up with her restaurant remarks. Since we came to this dump, she counted on us as a party who will accept her abuse. Sadly, she owns the business and we still tipped her well. Her husband and grandson are sadly beaten by her meanness to them. So today I offered to even pay for the tea, she refused I
guess it would ruin her fadder. So the only things is to infrequent the Nazi, as she treats customers as she, s doing them a favor. Good luck poor husband and grandson.

Definitely NOT a sports bar. Horrible and few TVs. A local dive bar? Yes. But don’t call yourself a sports bar if all you have is 1980’s vintage TVs.

Have been going to this dive for over 20 years, it is a bit dated, But the owner is awesome. And the food is great and priced right. Ask for the monster breakfast. It will stay with you all day. Hope to going for the next twenty years.

I Love this place… its comfort food with a crazy price and service that would keep you coming back. The bar does a hugh amazing bloody mary (Best in town) and the kitchen keeps it simple but perfect.

This place is a great neighborhood bar the owners are awesome and the Breakfast is home cooked and delicious. The Bloody Mary’s are huge and the are made from the owners own recipe oh and they are spicy and Delicious also. We are coming back here from now on. 5 stars all day! Try it!

Love this place. The owner is a sweetheart.
Yes, the décor is a little dated, but the prices are fantastic. Service is quick, the staff friendly and the food tastes great.
Why anyone would give this place a bad rating is beyond me. This is one of those little restaurants you just love to find.

Great diner type food served fast. Bar on one side quaint diner on the other. Good food, fair pricing. One of my all time favorites.

Food is pretty good cheap (on the menu) the waitress is the owner and she will trip you off add charge you way too Much for stuff and then go crazy on you off if you mention it or tell her that your food is wrong. She is very rude and sassy.. NEVER GOING BACK which is sad because it is a cute little dive

It’s sunday and I’m killin time before my sons basketball game, had intentions of goin to wildernest bar, but this was closer. This place not at from Inspire courts. They do serve breakfast all day which, in my opinion is awesome. I didn’t order food but checked out the menu. Prices seem fare.
Typical dive bar. Friendly service (1bartender), dark, musky smell, 1 pool table, all TV’s tunes into nascar. It did the job for me. One beer and in and out i time for my boys game. Thank you for being convenient and quick. Next time I’m in the area Need a beer to kill time before a game I’ll come here.

It was a Saturday morning, I hadn’t slept in days. Upon a hazy recommendation from the Hollywood Alley (RIP), I trudged my way through the streets of Gilbert to Mesquite Grill. Thank God for this establishment.
Why?
a) bloody mary (super huge glass) available for breakfast
b) delicious Mexican omelette (chorizo, cheese, salsa, etc) with a side of guac
c) plenty of seating, nice and cool
d) great waitstaff– «old fashioned» (lady orders first), but a bit surly and fun
I ate my way from misery to happiness at Mesquite. And I couldn’t even FINISH my bloody mary. It was that big.
Love ya, Mesquite. Be back as soon as I’m in Mesa… er… Gilbert… errrr… within 25 miles.

Great country food. Very good Bloody Mary. I always Oder the monster

I had the Taco Salad for lunch. It was spicy which made up for any shortcuts from a short order kitchen. Very friendly folks. I bet they are a perfect place for breakfast a simple country breakfast. Prices are really cheap! Cheaper than fast food!

This place is unique. Family owned and operated the owners care about their customers, the food, and the cleanliness. The evidence is on the wall — high marks from the food inspectors and high praise by the Food editors from the local papers. We have eaten there more than 100 times and never had a disappointment in food, service or ambience.
Reminds me of «I was country before country was cool.»

This place is your classic hole in the wall outdated dive that you’d expect to see on the side of a country road. Food is not to shabby and CHEAP! I’ve only been for breakfast (several times). I get the steak n eggs w/​hash browns and it’s a steal at $ 6.95! Biscuits and gravy are pretty decent as well. As far as the waitress (owner), yeah her customer service skills and attitude could use work for sure but she can grow on ya. I don’t go expecting 4 star service but for good and CHEAP food! I do think the mimosas and bloody mary’s are a bit over priced ($ 7.50) but other than that, you’ll leave there full, satisfied and not broke!

This location has 2 businesses. A bar and a grill. I never entered the bar. I only eat at the grill for breakfast. I love the food though. This is a great, greasy spoon when you don’t care about exotic «gourmet» concoctions an upscale location or an eye catching electronic sign. This place serves your standard menu items. Quality food, reasonable prices and low overhead. Just the way I like it! The other reviewers commented on the owner and her abrasive nature. I agree she is abrasive but only at first glance. She is funny and sweet if you give her a chance.

This may be indeed the best hole in the wall restaurant in the east valley. This place is a sleeper but indeed a diamond in the rough. The waitress is a hoot, she calls it as she sees it and often starts singing randomly based on what is playing on the radio. The daily specials are always a hit and the food is always fresh. Any regular yuppie would walk in and walk right out and that is another feature I love. Most of the patrons work near the area and seem to visit daily based on their report with the waitress. And yes they all are working class people that refuses to eat crap via a chain restaurant/​drive thru. My wife had the daily special open face pork tenderloin sandwich w/​mashed potatoes and gravy while I had the cheese crisp with machaca, homemade salsa and sour cream. I could eat here daily and caught myself laughing out loud many times because of the waitresses quick wit.

Most definitely a hole-​in-​the-​wall neighborhood bar. Décor is very much dated, but the bartender, Debbie, is super nice and tends to her customers’ every need. Food is ok, but not the best. Owner is rough around the edges, but extremely funny and carries a take shyte from no one attitude, but in a good way. Not my favorite place, but ok if you like dive bars.

Was looking for a place to eat lunch, didnt want fast food… but. yeah McDonald’s would have probably tasted better. Walked in and noticed the outdated décor… and the smell. Decided to give it a try anyways. Ordered the chili burger. As soon as they delivered I was like ugh. I took one bite and it was the worst chili i had ever had! Never going back…

went to try this place based on one review on Unilocal the waitress was rough around the edges in her waitress/​hostess roll the place smelled like one of those old town restaurants that people probley smoked in for years combined with greese that may not get changed as much as it should. as the waitress cleared tables there was alot of crashing of dishes in the dirty dish bin. I must say i sliped out before ordering food may be good if lucky …
