Teakwoods Tavern & Grill

Teakwoods is the place to go if you are a «wings» fan! They grill wings for crisp perfection and the flavor is so good that I don’t even need ranch to dip the wing in. I know — How can you not need ranch? I didn’t believe it until I tried it.
Everytime I go to a restaurant that offers wings, I will be comparing it to Teakwoods.

I find myself at Teakwoods a lot. I constantly have Groupons from this place and they make it well worth it. Teakwoods is a fairly typical Sports Bar with peanut shells on the floor and live music Fri /​Sat nights. They also offer free UFC fights and have some amazing daily drink specials.

Decent food, wings are pretty good, not the best like everyone raves but certainly good. My favorite thing to order here is breakfast, its available anytime and always hits the spot on a sunday morning.
Service — ³⁄₅
Good service, never had any complaints.
Atmosphere — ³⁄₅
Casual, lots of TV’s, a stage with a few couches and a fairly large patio.
Price — ⁴⁄₅
Food is average but the drink specials are really good.
Overall — great causal place to grab a bite to eat and catch a game with friends… or alone.

Service, TVs, prices, bloody Mary bar, free wifi, free peanuts, 15% off for texting their VIP club, etc = 5 stars.
TV sound = 0 stars! Watching biggest game so far of the year — it’s on all TVs but the sound is horrible — not nearly loud enough, pitifully few speakers, etc. I’m sitting 10′ away from the speakers at the stage and can barely hear. FIX IT!!! Shame. Could have been sooo great.
UPDATE– manager just turned up sound! Upping review by 2 stars. Still need more speakers in bar area and more TVs too — there is only 1 tv for the whole bar area…
Bathrooms not good – no dividers between urinals, urinals too close to sinks. AND THE MIRROR ALLOWS EXTREMELY AWKWARD AND DIRECT VIEW TO THE LINE OF URINALS.

Just returned from a Sunday afternoon of bloody mary’s, wings, fries, and football. The holy trinity. Oops, I guess I’m a little over three things needed for a trinity. Oh well. Needless to say I wasn’t rooting for Tebow!
The wings here are amazing. We ordered them medium honey BBQ and they could have been a touch hotter for my taste, but I wasn’t complaining. The crispiness of the skin was perfect. We ordered a dozen but filled up with 5 wounded soldiers still on the plate. These wings weren’t skimpy, y’all.
The service was awesome and the TVs were perfectly spaced out for prime viewing.
Now if you’ll excuse me I need a nap.
Did I mention the Bloody Mary bar? With blue cheese stuffed olives? No, well you might see me there next Sunday.

Found this place thru a GroupOn. Love the cheap draft cider and I recommend the Cheese Curds.
The two best things on the menu: Diego’s Mac n Cheese — its amazing and the Pretzel Appetizer (I doubt I will ever find another as good).
Perfect for a quick low-​key meal.
Downside — peanut shells on the floor — not my thing.

Nestled into a strip mall this gem has the bestest lavosh since my beloved Pischke’s in Old Town Scottsdale closed it’s doors. Teakwoods always has Frour Peaks Brews which we love, love, love. We’ve had the burgers — really good, fries — good, salads– really good but the lavosh keeps us coming back. Next to try is the boat load of nachos. Can’t wait for that calorie implosion.
Tip — they have Groupon offers sometimes so keep an eye open for that.

BEST WINGS POSSIBLY EVER.
Do not miss out. You have GOT to get the jess jess wings… I also tried the el heffe style on a chicken sandwich, which was good. I’d recommend just getting a load of wings in the two styles and judging for yourself, since I’ve never heard of any other place preparing them this way… very tasty. Also got the cheese curds, which, if you’ve never been to wisconsin, you’ve got to try: they held up to the midwest standard and were super yummy (though they will put you into a milkfat coma).
Nice deals on beer, and what’s better than making a mess on the floor with some peanut shells? Very fun.

Loved it!
We had the El Jeffe wings. They smelled divine and tasted even better. They were fresh, hot and flavorful with a good dose of heat!
I also love any place that has fresh hot tater tots… so I was a sucker for those. They were great along with the Candlestick carver.
It’s on Groupon again today!

Upon first glance this is appears to be a very usual strip mall type bar but behind the black glass lies a more unusual bar and grill.
We went on a Sunday for the Jets-​Ravens game and it was a fun time. This is one of those places you likely have passed a hundred times on the way to work or going to Scottsdale using Indian School Rd. It is set back into the strip mall so you would not see it from the street. Why Teakwoods is special comes from its extremely quality food which you would not expect from a place that lets you throw peanut shells on the floor. Like most bars it has a bevy of TV’s and a rowdy but pleasant crowd.
The food was really good though I would never call this «fine dining». An extremely great place to go when you want to be stuffed with semi-​greasy food. I had their famous wings and I can honestly say they were outrageous. I especially liked the cheese balls which are hard to find as WineBurger stopped carrying them.
No particular reason this place wasn’t 5 stars. it just didnt have that 5 star feel. maybe in the future when I go back.

Teakwoods is not my usual type of spot but i just love it. I love the peanut shells on the floor, watching bizarre customers, great drink specials, and GREAT bar food. This is another place where I have yet to order something bad here. I love their Mac and cheese… it was much nicer than i expected from the look of the place! Their pretzel rolls are so good too. Moist, soft, and covered with butter.
Wings, sandwiches, beer… theyve got it all! It would be a great place to watch a game with friends if I liked watching games.

I love this place! Teakwoods is your favorite neighborhood bar, stocked with peanut buckets on the tables, peanut shells on the floor and big flat screen TVs all around. Tuesdays are my favorite day to go because you can get a dozen wings for only $ 6.50 (I think regular price is $ 8.50 for a dozen). I always order the same items: pretzels and cheese, soy and garlic edamame, a dozen jess jess wings and a prickly pear margarita.
The pretzels are always warm and soft, and come with a yummy and creamy cheese sauce. The soy and garlic edamame are the BOMB! Completely delish! The jess jess wings are hands down the best wings I’ve had anywhere! And the prickly pear margaritas are the perfect accent to my meal — sweet and delish, with just a little tartness.
The place is very laid back, and they even have karaōke on Friday nights (I think — I’ve only been to karaōke once). This is a great place to go with a group of friends for a casual and fun evening with good food and drinks.

In our ever running quest to find a great wings place in the Phoenix area, my boyfriend and I stumbled upon Teakwoods. We’ve been there a couple of times, and we’ve really enjoyed the overall experience on each of our visits. First let me comment on how wonderful the service was. It’s a very laid back atmosphere, and the servers are all down to earth and easy to talk to and ask any questions.
I’m not a big fan of super spicy food, so I went with the Jess Jess wings. A-​MAZING. I absolutely love them — they are fried then grilled, with bleu cheese crumbles to give them that extra bit of zing. Very tasty. My boyfriend went with the El Hefe (I hope I spelled that right…) wings, all suicide sauce instead of the mild with a dash of suicide like it states on the menu. What a crazy fool. However, he claims they aren’t THAT spicy, and when he finally convinced me to try them, I didn’t combust right on the spot. So, for me they were just fine and a bit too spicy, but for someone who is looking for a really spicy wing, I don’t think this would satisfy.
We also had their potato skins, and they were just meh. However, they do give you a nice big side salad if you order one, and they are reasonably priced. They also have peanuts on every table, so if you are inclined to throw shells on the floor and make an incredible mess for the waitstaff at the end of the night, well, you have that option ;).
This is a good place to go for wings, and I’m sure we’ll be back in the future.

Wow wow wow really great place. I threw my bf a surprise birthday party here… which at first I thought was a nice bar and grill but the morning of the party I drove 30 minutes here to drop off the cake… and was kinda shock to find that it was kinda like a dive bar. Usually I wouldn’t pick places like that but since it was a party of 30, I wasn’t going to change the place just because there’s peanut shells all over the place. But really it turned out to be a great place that had a perfect area that sat all 30 of us.
The service was really wonderful… when I called in to make the reservation twice… since at first I thought it would only be a party of 10 but more people decided to come so it went up to 30, the guy that took the reservation was really nice about it, even asked me if I was bringing a cake. The waitress that served us was also pretty awesome.
The portions of the food was huge and cheap and oOoh the wings are a bomb and what was even better was for Tuesdays it’s only $ 6.50 for a dozen of any flavor wings.
Overall I am very satisfied and happy with this place and the party was a hit… although I think we were their biggest party there because if it wasn’t for us I think the place would have been pretty dead… There weren’t too many people there for dinner.
Anyways I would happily come back here.

They have pretty good daily and happy hour specials on drinks. The food is a tad pricey imho, but it is good.
Ordered the jess jess wings they were nice and crisp, flavorful… but I do tend to like my wings a little saucier and I couldn’t taste or see the bleu cheese crumbles.
Also ordered the burger with the green chili and tots. It was solid, but a little under-​seasoned for my liking.
I would definitely go back and try some other wings.

I like this Teakwoods!
The beer flows cheaply, the staff are really friendly and many of the customers in there smile as new folks walk in the door too. It’s not often you find a place like this that has an overall happy vibe.
Pros:
— The portions are BIG
— The staff are great
— They sometimes do groupons
— They support the local community through things like participating in the Indian School Street fair
— They give you peanuts to shell and trash the floor with which somehow appeals to the inner kid in me.
— The beer is cheap
Con’s
— none that I’ve found

Who doesn’t love throwing peanut shells on the floor? Not to mention for «bar food» this place takes it up a notch. Most recently, I enjoyed a green chile cheese burger which was ginormous! Already a fan of the ruben and the cheesesteak. Plenty of drink specials and TVs for watching games. On my last visit, I noticed they offer live music on weekends. Will have to keep an eye on that…

Teakwoods is a divey-​esque bar where you’re allowed to make a mess and throw peanut shells on the ground. It’s filled with a ridiculous mix of patrons and bar food that seriously steps it up a notch; they even won a Best of Phoenix award for their wings. Don’t let that limit the menu for you though… I’ve tried a bunch of their food and here’s what I think:
Hot Wings — great sauces and the wings themselves are cooked perfectly how I like em (crispy outside and chewy in the middle).
Buffalo Chicken Sammich — Like a giant hot wing on a bun! I like the El Heffe sauce, but hold the mayo!
Jack Not Jill Chicken Sammich — Chicken, avocado, jack cheese and bacon. Delicious.
Lavosh — Basically Passover pizza! It’s a creative way to make put pizza on the menu without the pizza oven.
Mac & Cheese — Another great entrée! I respect a place that does two things to their M&C… 1: They use real cheese and melt it. 2: It’s not cut from a friggin’ casserole. Teakwoods covers those bases very well.
Candlestick Carver — My first sammich at Teakwoods, and a memorable one. Sliced beef, grilled green chiles and tomatoes, horseradish mayo and provolone on sourdough, with au jus. It’s huge.
That all being said, the service has been pretty good each time I’ve gone, and the whole staff is loaded with different recommendations that have all proven to be good. Lastly, their drink specials are absolutely great (Fri and Sun — pints of Four Peaks are cheaper here than at the Brewery during HH).
I like Teakwoods a lot. It has become one of my new watering holes, so don’t be shy if you check in and happen to see me getting my grub on down the way.

Teakwoods was my go to place when I lived in Biltmore. They have such a diverse menu that those of you that hang with picky eaters would appreciate. They have the usual assortment of yummy burgers and wings. They serve up a ginormous Triple Decker Tavern Club, which is very tasty and you can easily get 2 meals out of it. Last time I went I got French Toast at dinner time, how cool is that. I had left overs for breakfast the next morning. Their meatloaf is delicious as well. And they serve the best Strawberry Lemondade in all of Phoenix which my wife just loves.
Teakwoods actually get 6 Unilocal stars from me for serving Diet Dr Pepper. Teakwoods you rock and I miss you; But I’ll be back to visit this weekend.

Who wouldn’t want to go to a place that cooks up cheese curds and tater tots? My group also managed to eat the pretzel sticks app and the Jess Jess wings. I dunno what’s in the Jess Jess sauce, but it’s GOOD.
For my dinner, I got the french dip (with tots, of course). The meat was cooked well, bread was soft, but not too soft, so it stood up against the au jus. And the tots, well, that just brought me back to childhood :) Apparently, it brought my friend back to her childhood too, as I discovered she was eating ‘em without telling me. HAHA
All in all, this is a good place to watch a game with your group of friends, on one of the many TVs, in a warm atmosphere (thank you dark wood décor) and eat some good «bar» food.

Buffalo Wings. Food of the gods.
Beer. Nectar of the Gods.
Peanuts. Just darn tasty.
All of this and more can be yours when you walk into teakwoods tavern. As a side project I’ve slowly been making my way through a list of recommended wing spots in the Valley. This one I was a little nervous about because just as many people told me they had great wings as told me they had bad wings. The only other place I’ve experience this with is Long Wongs where the day to day quality of the wings can swing drastically.
Entering the building we are instantly and enthusiastically greeted by a nice lady who shows us to our table in this nice dark establishment. Less then a minute goes by and our cute, enthusiastic, seemingly genuine waitress shows up to take our drink over.
My buddy Chris asks whats on tap and she rattles off what must be 20 or so beers. Feeling a little flirty, with a serious face, I ask her what the 3^rd one she listed again. She puts me in my place instantly saying «bud light was 3^rd.» Youch. owned ;)
All three of us dig into the peanuts enjoying the fact that we get to toss the shells on the floor. They were really good and got you nice and thirsty for some good beer.
Onto the main business which was ordering the wings we had come for. One thing I did not like was the limited quantity options. Half dozen (6.00), dozen (7.99), or bucket (39.95), what kind of craziness is this? I can order 6, 12 or 72? There are three of us. We aren’t making it through 72 wings and $ 8 a dozen bah. These better be really good. This definitely needs to be addressed :/​
We decide on two dozen hot, and one dozen Honey BBQ Hot. I’m not a big fan of anything but classic hot or face melting hot wings. But it cant be about me all the time: p Oh and following everyones advice I order them extra crispy which is supposed to deliver original long wongs style wings.
Less then 10 minutes pass and out come the wings. They are a little less crispy then I would have liked but at least they were not rubbery.
MMMmmmmm these are really good! I think the wings were frozen but they are still tasty. The sauce has the right fat/​vinegar combo but its obvious that they add an extract to get extra heat. This is how it should be done. You can only make wings so hot with franks and butter. Eventually they just end up more vinegary. Wow the honey BBQ also had the same heat minus the vinegar aspect. Looks like I was spot on with the pepper extract. Usually these are «hot» because someone put red pepper flakes. These were actually decent. but still to sweet for my taste. The rest of the table liked them.
I would say so far these are in the top 3 in the valley. I would definitely return here for some wings and peanuts. Rating would be higher except for the horrible quantity ordering options.
