Bungalow Bar & Grill

This place is super good! The downside is that I can’t go here for lunch because they take legit forever to make anything, even a pear salad (and that doesn’t include lettuce btw). If you are in the mood for a leisurely meal, this is a good bet.

Great food. Great people. Great management. And strong drinks! Perfect spot to unwind during happy hour. Also — brunch menu is amazing and delicious!

Pretty good! Went during the weekend brunch (until 3pm) and the menu is really limited, including the beer menu. The website menu shows a LOT more, must be a dinner menu.
The service was slow but friendly. The place wasn’t packed but was full of the stereotypical Old Town girls and guys, but that was to be expected.

One of our favorite casual spots to go. Whether it is just for drinks or to eat, we have never been disappointed. We have never had to wait for a table. Most people sit around the bar there or outside. So we have always gotten sat right away.
The service is always great. Quick service and attentive. We always use a waitress; not just the bartender.
The food is great! We got the Hummus once and loved it. The next time they had a new dish of tacos and they were amazing! Very good and filling.
I also like that in the winter/​fall they open the restaurant doors so it feels more open. It is in a great location in Old Town as well. Love this place and would recommend it for sure!

Lacking service.
Stopped here fully intending to have a late lunch and some beers on a hot afternoon. Got there ordered the beers which took a long time despite only 6 patrons being in the restaurant and sitting at the bar !! Wait for the attendant to take our order but finally decided to eat some where else.

Nice place to shoot the breeze either indoors or outdoors while enjoying good food and drink.
We went inside, which is open-​air, on a 96 degree day and it was very pleasant. In addition to having well selected beer and wine offerings, the food was also quite good. I had the calamari, for instance, which was flavorful and of which they served a large helping. We also had the hummus, which was equally good. The service was good and the environment was upscale casual.
In comparison to other, nearby offerings, they’re pretty good.

Had my fiancé’s bday here with a party of 22 people. Service was quick and easy. Food menu was fine, we didn’t care much. But happy hour menu had great deals. What we liked best about it was there were TV screens, everywhere. We didn’t miss a moment of the games we wanted to watch. big plus. Also it was Friday night and the place wasn’t that packed, so it was laid back and everyone was able to talk and just chilled the night away.

I read some of the reviews and it looks like service is still a huge problem. Hubby and I stopped in to watch the NCAA Final 4 game while having dinner. We found a table and waited a few minutes until someone came by to get our drink order. We’re non-​drinkers and when we asked for tea, our waitress gave us THAT look that we’re used to seeing. I wanted to tell her to not judge us because we don’t drink. We’re good tippers (having spent a combined 20+ years in the restaurant biz). I knew immediately we were going to be in for a bad evening and I was right.
She brought our drinks, took our order and we didn’t see her again until we were finished eating. We could have used some ketchup, mustard and a little more salad dressing… along with more iced tea but why bother, right?
I sat facing the whole bar and watched while one of the waitresses busted her butt for 6 large tables in one section as well as a couple of other tables near where we were sitting. Our waitress, on the other hand, hung out by the service area at the bar with no other tables under her watch. I have NO idea why she took us when she was serving the bar on the other side of the restaurant.
Suffice to say the meal was meh. We left before the game was over because the waitress put our check down and said, «Need anything else?» as she put the bill down and walked away.
Sad stuff because I know we could have gone elsewhere and had fantastic service. I wish we had. We won’t be back when we’re back in Scottsdale. We probably would have had better service at a fast food joint.

Just so you know – this is a Kansas bar, so if you come here when any Kansas team is playing any sport, you will be in the midst of a great amount of excitement and anxiety ;)
The breakfast is SUPER cheap. Like, weirdly cheap. They have an omelet station where you can get 2 omelets for $ 5. And if you want to add sides (toast, potatoes, fruit, etc), they’re only $ 2 each. Very reasonable. Everything was really tasty too. Definitely get the potatoes. The menu isn’t huge – my only real complaint – but it does the trick.
To note: the bottomless mimosas ARE expensive– $ 25. But blood mary’s are only $ 4 each… and cocktails are in the $ 7 range. The service was friendly and great.

Updating my review… again…was told it was too harsh… So new owners and new staff… The new owners put some beers on tap. Good call. The new Manager and bartenders were gracious and friendly. Was told that if they do renovate, it’ll be over the summer as it’s too busy of a season right now to make any changes. Check out the menu though, they said they will be updating some items on there.

Came here with a group of 8 a few months ago.
We definitely did not like the drinks. They seemed to be «out» of everything. Come on, who doesn’t carry Schnapps.
Food was adequate, good prices, and the customer service was top notch. We would go back if they improved their drink specials and maybe got a blender for blended drinks for the ladies.

Happy hour!!! What’s not to like.
Super cheap appetizers with $ 6 wine: YES PLEASE
We visited bungalow with a large group and sat inside in the raised area. We had decent service and no empty glasses. We tried the grilled cheese sandwich which was basic– white bread and buttery goodness.
Nothing overly outstanding but still a solid spot to bring a crowd!

Not a great crowd for Monday Night Football, not that it matters. It does appear that they overcharged my card as I look at my statement this morning. I paid $ 11.87 and left a cash tip, so why is my card charged over 14 bucks. Will update after I call later today. The beer prices during happy Hour are good as domestic bottles are only $ 2.50. They have about 6 items discounted about 3 or 4 bucks on the food menu. It’s none of their A list appetizers as another bar is trying to force us to eat only what they want to serve us during happy Hour. The brushetta that i ordered was a good version, but nothing great. It was overloaded with tomatoes and the bread had melted mozzarella cheese (which was cold). For 6 bucks, it was about 2 bucks overpriced. The blonde bartender was attractive, but had no personality to make me want to come back or stay longer.

Bungalow seems like a cute bar scene for those into football games or any type of game as they have huge tv’s and a projector screen. Today is Sunday and there are games on so the place is filled with men. Not sure where I am going with this review so I’ll cut to the food and drinks… And the service, of course…
Our server is super nice and extra ON IT as far as service. She was the one who recommended the Soul Shaker and when I ordered the French Dip she was like «Good choice»
She was cute
My meal came out and it’s pretty good
The French dip is nice and warm and au’jus is warm as well… It came with French fries and they too are great! :)
All in all I will return to Bunga but maybe at night just to see how it is
I ordered the Soul Shaker which is very yummy!

There are way too many good places in the area to squander time and money at Bungalow and suffer crappy service to boot. I rarely doc a place for service, because I don’t need to be swaddled in fine linen and cooed when I dine. However, there is a line. And when the food and drinks are sub-​par, aloof personnel just doesn’t cut it. Not my first visit, but this was likely the last.
My hubby and I prefer chilling at the bar rather than table service, so we grabbed a couple of stools and settled in on a slow Thursday night for a bite and a beer. The place — bar and table area — was pretty dead, yet it still took at least 5 minutes to grab the bartender. Ok fine, maybe they just wrapped up the dinner rush or something. We order beers and ask for a food menu, taking note of a particularly icy demeanor slapping menus in front of us. But again, not here to make a new friend, so it’s cool. Then as we try to get her attention to order, she seems to be avoiding our area. As she makes her way around the bar, grabbing empty glasses and cleaning the counter tops, she is finally within earshot. So I meekly ask «could we order an entrée as well?» to which she replies, «I’ll be with you in just a minute» and proceeds to wipe down the counter and bus dishes. Is it just me or is there some kind of invisible line that invisible people are waiting it to grab a seat at the bar? I could understand clearing up as a priority when there are patrons waiting to sit and I’d happily exercise patience to allow other people an ejoyable sit, but by now it’s 9pm… and it’s really dead inside. So… ok we waited for her to finish cleaning. And then ordered.
According to my other half, the rubber chicken sandwich was passable only as a means to slicene hunger pangs. It left his tastbuds rather underwhelmed and waistline rather remorseful with an excess of bread. Has anyone noticed how strange it is for a bar of this size not to have any beer on tap? I’ve had a few other appetizers on previous visits, but nothing memorable. Again, I don’t need a butler for a waiter or soufflé as a starter, but I can get a beer and some fries at a whole lot of other places in Old Town from someone who is a little more welcoming of my patronage and cash.

As an Old Town dweller, I hear a lot of negativity about the area. People who are too cool or have the thought that all Old Town places are douche. This is one of the places here I frequent because it’s not douche. When the weather is nice, they have a great patio which offers a superb vantage point to watch the Old Town Douches and Skanks parade by. Great happy hours deals and the food is also delish.
I’m not sure what they put in the hummus, but it’s addictive. I’m also a fan of the prime rib sliders and the grilled cheese. There is about a pound of cheese on that buttery sammich.

Who doesn’t love the Bungalow? They make my food to order… and I change everything. Sometimes the cook even delivers with a personal message… lemme know how you like that, etc.
It’s great for happy hour but my only gripe is parking is limited.

This is a fun little place in Scottsdale! A friend and I were looking to grab lunch while escaping the heat, and Bungalow proved to be the perfect solution. Service was a little crappy, but it was nice how the whole front of the place was open… you could get fresh air, but didn’t feel like you were slowly dying from the heat of the desert air. Which is always a great thing.
Our server definitely had a bad-​itude going on, and clearly wasn’t that excited to be serving us, but the show went on. She got our drinks and eye-​rolled when we asked for water (really? It’s 100 degrees!) so we kinda just chose to ignore her and have a nice lunch anyway. We weren’t crazy hungry so we split the Bungalow Bites (four sirloin sliders with white American cheese and aujus for dipping) and we each got a side of grilled vegetables. The bites were super, super good! The meat was cooked just perfectly and the cheese was a nice touch. I could have eaten all four without splitting them, they were that great. The vegetables were cooked very well too, and seasoned just right. I was a happy camper.
The prices were pretty affordable and the menu was a good size, so I’d call that a good situation. If only the server would have been as content as we were!

I came during NY Eve and the place is rocking!
I came on a regular Wednesday night and it was okay. I like Bungalow’s in general because of the atmosphere and location. However, no draft beer?! C’mon! I don’t like to complain, but that’s not cool.
I ordered the Kamikaze Burger and it was very delicious I have say. I came after a run up the Camelback Mts. so I was super hungry for some meat and beef of course! Bacon, Avocado, Pepper jack Cheese and some Chipotle sauce — Yaoza! Definitely worth it even if I didn’t do the run. The service overall was good and our waitress I must say was busting — meaning she was working real hard wink wink. — Enjoy!

I’m taking a tour of Old Town Scottsdale eateries, so I ended up here at that Bungalow.
My experience here was nice. I genuinely enjoyed every bite of my Ahi Tuna salad. I ate it ALL up. The service was nice. the establishment was clean. The lunch crowd was at a minimal on a Wednesday afternoon, so for sure, this is a place I would go back to for a nice lunch with a small crowd/​ie faster service.
