Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers

So I went with a turkey sandwich from a cheeseburger restaurant and it was great! I’ve been here a few times before and the sandwich is even better than the burgers (which are also good). The only thing missing was a cold beer which I’ll make up for next time!

Never has a name been so true to its mission of Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers. We stopped by on a warm June night and enjoyed the cool mister covered patio. TV’s galore, a cheerful server and great bar food. What more can you ask for?

Great The juicy Lucy and all-​American burger amazing. They were extra cheese and thick. Also had the tots that were good not excellent. Great spot to watch traffic and people go bye. Cost reasonable I would deathly recommend. Great beer selections and service was great.

The beer was cold and I got the O-​Lineman. The OL burger is a burger served between two grilled cheese sandwiches. If you are looking for something tasty with your cold brew of choice this is out of bounds… in a good way!

I came with two girlfriends after shopping. One friend is a regular and she raves about this place so it’s time I check it out. We went to the Scottsdale location. It was loud. Music blaring and lots of TVs everywhere with the Diamondbacks game on (which I enjoy). But it was a little hard to hear over the music and people trying to talk over it.
For starters we shared a Mac-​n-​cheese dish with bacon and jalapeños and… peas?! What’s up with that?! My friend picked them out for me when I whined about how icky peas are lol. But it was still very tasty and I know how to order it next time.
So we get our burgers, one friend had the Open Pit and the other had Ring of Fire. I had the Steakhouse-​something with truffle oil on a pretzel bun. Ah-​maz-​ing. There was trouble with the Ring of Fire– my friend ordered it well done and it came out more undercooked than she could tolerate. Our server, Erin, was great! She apologized and promptly returned it. When the second one came out it still was undercooked but not as bad. A manager type came out and said he would comp her burger AND her beer. Wow! That is service. It wasn’t necessary, and we made no scene about it. They fixed the burger and my friend enjoyed it but the gesture showed incredible commitment to customer satisfaction. Impressive.
I cannot wait for the central Phoenix location to open!!!

This was my first time here and I know I’ll be back. I ordered the Hangover with jalapeños and it was geeeeeeeeeat!

Not too shabby. They have a good beer selection, and their burgers are pretty good (not out of this world, but still good). They have about a million TVs, but the few times I’ve been they are all playing the same game (maybe mix it up a little? There were certainly other games going on on the days we went). They were accommodating when we requested a particular game, but they stuck us at a table directly in front of the TV they used so we were going a little cross-​eyed watching it. Parking can be tough because it’s Old Town, but there’s a garage not too far away. It gets busy during sports season, so be ready to wait for a table if a big game is on. We’ll definitely be back, but it’s not always my first choice.

Loved this joint. Simply put, great burgers, and huge beer list. i was thoroughly impressed with their massive beer selection and they have great weekday specials. Happy our 3−6pm. They also have burgers of the week specials where you get a burger and chips for $ 10. Most burgers cost $ 12 – 15 dollars and you can get it bunless, or gluten free bun if you would like. They do charge $ 4 to split a plate, or extra if you prefer to have a salad, tater tots or fries with your burger instead ($ 2)
Place was packed during the GSW basketball games so food took a bit longer than expected but overall service was good. Definitely THE spot for a delicious ½ lb burger!

Ambiance — sports bar and very loud.
Food — one if the best burgers I’ve ever had! Lots of tater tot option which are all awesome.
Drink — Mimosas on Sunday were killer and a huge beer selection.
It certainly lives up to it’s name.

The food was good, and the beer was cold, but really nothing too spectacular. The same food and drinks you would find at Buffalo Wild Wings, or a Red Robin. There was nothing wrong with it, but nothing that makes you want to come back over and over again.

I’d actually give 3.5 if that was an option. The location is pretty awesome with plenty of parking in the garage out back and a few in the tiny lots surrounding the place. They have a nice patio to look out onto Scottsdale Rd from.
The beer selection is pretty amazing and it seems like they usually run a beer special. The menu has a lot of items on it, not just burgers but we didn’t really try anything else yet. The burgers were solid with not too much grease, though it was close. They were cooked to order which is good and came with home made chips that were pretty darn good.
The dessert was confusing because they have a brownie sundae and a brownie shake; we ordered the sundae but it was pretty much a shake that hasn’t been mixed? I’m not sure why but the ice cream was kind of more shake-​y than scoop-​y like it was blended, and it all came in a sundae glass. The brownie was cut into large bite-​size squares which was a little too large to chew comfortably even without a bit of «ice cream» in the mix. We eventually just got a to-​go cup so we can pour it in and freeze it at home.
Ultimately this is a solid food place that could be fun. Don’t expect any kind of value pricing though, everything is pretty much priced out to the max of what people would be willing to pay. At least the food isn’t terrible, which is often the case in Scottsdale along with prices as high!

Top 99.897% worst look I’ve ever had from a hostess in my entire life. I can’t think of a better word other than the most SMUG look from a human being I’ve ever received. If I am honestly inconveniencing you that much just tell me and I’ll happily remove myself from this establishment. I was made to feel as if I needed to apologize for something.
However
The restaurant looks awesome and can’t wait to eat and the waitress is great!

I have always been intrigued by this place since they chose such an unoriginal name, but always seem to have a crowd. We decided to stop in for a quick dinner before running some errands at the mall. The place was packed especially since it is during Spring Training, but we were lucky enough to find two seats at the bar. The bartender was friendly and quickly took our order. I enjoyed a cider on draft and a 1,000 Island burger with fries — pretty darn good! Great place to watch sports, drink beer and enjoy a tasty burger!

Pretty good cheeseburger. Not the best I’ve had, but not the worst either. Great beer. Cool atmosphere, and glad I got to hangout here with some friends. Waitress was awesome and the 10% off my bill with the Unilocal checking was great :)
I’ll definitely return.

This place certainly lives up to it’s name. The variety of beers is awesome and COLD. The burgers are BIG and savory and you can’t go wrong with any of them! Friendly staff and great cocktails.

I think I really like this place. There beer selection is insane, prices are decent (cans of old style for $ 3), food prices are a tad high but not too bad, good selection on tap. atmosphere is excellent, service is excellent, food is very good. The kids menus items are a bit small so order off the adult menu for an older child, my boys had to order a second kids entrée. Huge parking garage directly behind.
Five Stars.

If you’re looking to watch sports, indulge in greasy (but delicious) bar food and sip on some ice-​cold beers, this is your place! It is perfectly located in Old Town Scottsdale and on weekends, it is always packed with rowdy sports fans which makes the experience way more fun! They have a huge wrap around bar and a ton of seating both inside and on their patio. Their burgers are MASSIVE and I love that they give you the option of a pretzel bun! I ordered the Steakhouse Truffle burger to split with my fiancé and holy goodness, it was delicious! I am SO happy that we split because it was ½lb! It is also worth noting that their ranch dressing is phenomenal! I know that we’ll be back soon with friends to watch sports and unwind!

I’m sure this place is a happening spot during sports games but if you’re looking for a weeknight dinner, I wouldn’t come here. In the 30 minutes we were there, not one server came to our table to greet us or take our drink order let alone our meal order. I actually asked the hostess to have a server come over and after waiting an additional 15 minutes, we decided to leave. Never in my life have I had an experience like this– I was absolutely livid! What kind of a restaurant, which wasn’t busy at all the night I went in, wouldn’t have someone come over at all in 30 minutes?!
I really was excited to try Cold Beers and Cheeseburgers but now, I will never come back or recommend anyone go there.

After a poorly undercooked burger about 6 months ago, finally opened my heart to try another burger while watching the Giants season go down in flames. The place was packed as usual and I got the burger to go. It was pretty simple from the BYOB menu and just consisted of a burger with bacon and fries for $ 11. Normally, I’m against cutting burgers, but I took one for the team to make sure that the pink was not present. Everything worked out good and they can cook to ordfer even when place is jammed.
Most of the same crew is still there from 2 years ago and Kelsey is aging nicely. Still probably the funnest place to watch a game in Old Town unless you are a Giants fan on this day.

After about 2 dozen visits I think it’s about time for a review.
Why 4 stars and not 5!!! Because it is not the best Hamburger in town!!!
Sure they are doing a lot of things right, probably everything right, but there is a lot of competition these days and a few blocks south and just to the east is a great place that is making The finest Hamburgers in the country. However that doesn’t take away from all of the effort and expertise exuded at CBAC.
About those burgers I have tried a few and they are great, I really like to build my own so It’s just so and that works out great for me. They make that nice and easy with the customer order forms for build your own burger and on the other side build your own mac and cheese. With the burgers comes great fries, or chips, and other options to upgrade your sides for a price. Meat and non meat options are also great for the burgers so choice and selection is awesome. My only «beef» with the burgers is with the cheese, it isn’t melted to the patty, its always stuck to the top bun, always, so I imagine it’s just how they do it, instead of a cooking problem.
The prices seem to be a little high, It’s Scottsdale prices for sure, from $ 9.00 to $ 14.00 for burgers and mac and cheese option are about the same. Up grade your sides and have a few beers and per person check averages are a restaurateur’s wet dream.
I like to sit at the bar where service has always been efficient if not great. The ladies behind the bar are attentive and are always ready to make that sale. Maybe I don’t go enough or just because they are so busy, but nobody has ever remembered me and welcomed me back. That’s a little surprising since I live in Old Town area and manage a club around the corner, and often have my pre-​shift meal here. I am going to just chalk that up to the volume they are doing, this place is always busy.
Big TV’s, visible management, attentive service, decent Happy hour, and a pretty good meal, in a great location works for me. Looking forward to seeing what’s next from this team!

Big day of football today! I spoke with manager eye to eye at 10am and he said he could not reserve tables for Auburn or play the sound but would have the game on a couple of Tv’s! We show up early to get a table and when game starts he refuses to put the game on one TV! Really you fly our flag and suppose to be home to Auburn but will not play the game on one TV? WAR EAGLE
I have loved coming to watch Auburn almost every week here! Very disappointed you could not play the game for us! Especially after I made a point to stop by that morning to verify you were going to have the game on!

One of the best cheese burgers I have ever had! No doubt about it! But I would hope a place names after the thing would now how to do it right.
The food quality was great, and their options were nice. Pretty much anything you want you can have on your burger. They also are the only place in town that carries they type of non-​alcoholic beer my husband likes, big points for this one!
My husband and I don’t make it out to Scottsdale that often so we thought we would venture that way for an ASN game and come greasy food. I only have a couple of complaints, they quoted us a wait time much much loner than it actually was. Our server was great, but the timing on the food took a little while. Also, they had the ASU game on but they formatted it wrong and it cut off a lot of the screen. We mentioned this to the server a few times, but now one cared to fix it. Weird.
But we enjoyed our burgers and went home for the rest of the game.
Definitely worth stopping in.
