Review from Lindsay C.
Scottsdale, AZ
5/21/2012
Went here for a saturday lunch with a girlfriend. The building is amazing and beautiful, very clean. I'm not generally a "Scottsdale crowd" type of gal, but the place was nice, and the music was good too. The menu looked so delicious that we had a hard time deciding what to get. Our waiter was very kind, didn't try to rush us, and gave us plenty of time to decide.
We had a house salad, dirty chips, and an order of sliders. The house salad seemed a bit over priced for what it was, but the dirty chips were really good! The sliders were average, and well priced.
I really want to go back and try a happy hour sometime to try more of the small plates, our only regret was that the order of dirty chips was BIG, we could only finish half of it. A half sized portion would have been perfect, though! -

R n R is beautiful, I just love the architectural features.. delicious before you even step inside the door! They have two floors of inside/outside seating, tons of waiters/bartenders and usually great music.Saturday/Sunday afternoons they usually have it loud!! (Which I like).
I like this place because you could bring your mom for lunch or your boyfriend for late night. They have all kinds of appetizers. I would say the flavor is mainly American with a twist. I've had the "animal fries" and they are delicious, also the nachos are good and the sliders.. Actually I have to say all the food I have tried has been good. For the portions it does seem like a medium priced place in comparison to other spots that are fancier (Herb Box and Bandera). I have sat inside, and on both floors of the outdoor patios. The decor is very nice, and overall I really like this place and plan to come back. -
Review from Mike M.
Thorofare, NJ
This seems to be the place to see and be seen for the young and the trendy. It was always crowded when we walked by, but the blasting music and stylish crowd at night made it a tough sell for many of my coworkers. So, I went on my own, opting to stretch my per-diem to the max at happy hour.
It was love at first sip of that black IPA on draft. Then there was the ahi tuna tacos. These dainty little tacos come out on a seemingly silly slice of jicama, almost too pretty to eat. But I checked my ego and ate them whole, and was immediately blown away by the fresh, bright flavor. This was a big deal for me, as I typically avoid eating fish in land-locked states. Impressed, I also ordered the burger sliders. Sadly, they were dry and an overall disappointment.
With those tuna tacos still on my mind, the table was set for a second visit. For round 2 I opted for a more manly snack: the animal fries. Snack? This proved to be more of a meal. And lets be honest - this dish is nothing less than food porn, the likes of which I used to fantasize about as a collegiate stoner. A plate of not 1 but 3 kinds of already-bad-for-you fries, topped with a mound of hearty pulled pork and smothered with 2 kinds of melted cheeses and bbq sauce. Believe me, It was even more awesome than it sounds, even if the cheese was a bit sharp for my taste.
So then I saw the breakfast menu online, and imagined curing a Sunday morning hangover with some breakfast tacos. Fast forward to that weekend - Im not exactly sure what happened St Pattys day/night, but when I woke up Sunday am, RnR was packed with a solid1.5-2 hr wait. Needless to say, I never got the chance to sample breakfast. Alas, there will be another trip in a few months, and Ill be back. -

RnR is a definite hot spot in Oldtown Scottsdale, AZ. My friends are always going on about their awesome brunch and bottomless mimosas. Brunch and mimosas are always a must! I decided it was time to pay RnR a visit.
Five mimosas later.. I was still enjoying my time and the food was tasty. I would recommend RnR to family and friends, especially if you want to start a Sunday morning out just right. -

What a great location for Happy Hour when it isn't searing hot to sit on the patio. Sunday brunch is pretty fab here too since they used to have bottomless mimosa's. Try the Ahi taco's for Happy Hour! The staff is pretty attentive once you get a table but it rubs me the wrong way when high school hostesses act as if you are an inconvenience or pretending they work at a club

**BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS, FRAT BOYS, AND BRUNCH**
Good energy.
Loud music.
Hot messes everywhere.
We sat outside in the front.
Good looking staff and plenty of bottomless mimosas.
Ordered shots for $9 a pop (Patron and Grey Goose).
A mix of friendly locals, Frat boys, and Spring Training attendees.
We had a good time despite the funny looks and stares by neighboring tables because of our crazy dancing.
Haters are going to hate.
Players are going to play.
RECOMMEND for those seeking bottomless mimosas, Blood Mary's, and a Frat Boy to take home.Listed in: 72 HOUR TRIP: PHX AND…

Review from KC O.
Sunset Beach, CA
3/18/2012 1 Check-in Here
A lot of people came out to see KC and friends at RnR. The bachelor party collided with a bachelorette party. KC was busy drinking and only signed a handful of autographs.
As usual KC was the best looking person in the joint. At one point a very attractive woman in a red n white dress walked in. She turned a ton of heads because she looked like a less fat Kim Kardashian. After some deliberation, it was decided KC was better looking than that broad.
KC allowed the people at RnR to feed him. He ate sliders and they kinda sucked. It was here that KC drank enough to wind up in a taxi bound for a strip joint. KC recommends RnR as a good jump-off for the booty club. #pimpgame -

Came here the other day, wasn't my first time, I have been here for Brunch which was amazing. But this time I came for happy hour with a coworker and got drink at the bar outside. The atmosphere was pretty chill which was fine with me. I got the Mac n Cheese which is awesome! I wish I could eat it everyday, but my thighs obviously won't allow that! The bartender, I think her name was Brittney, anyway, she was great! She made an extremely tasty margarita on the rocks, and she was very down to earth. All in all, I have yet to have a bad experience here (which is why I thought I would finally write a good review!).

Like all bars in Scottsdale during Spring Training, they cater to SF Giants fans. Nice upscale sports bar atmosphere inside, a slightly bit more relaxed yet very energetic outside patio area.
Service is friendly, bar bites are decent, but it would probably behoove you to go during happy hour in order to get the best deal for your money for the quality (food and drink) that you receive. -

I was really excited to try this place...boy was I disappointed...we order chips and guac to start and they were nowhere to be found..I couldn't find my server so after 10
Minutes I got up to find her. I told her to cancel the chips because the food would be out any minute. Then they come out with the meal and the guac was brown and chips were stale. I ordered the chicken sandwich and it came out burnt bread and flavorless. I'm sorry i don't like to give restaurants a bad rep but it was a really bad experience -

This place was a blast! I came here with 8 girls on a Saturday for some bottomless mimosas and Bloody Mary's and we were not disappointed! We did have to wait about an hour since we were a large group, but we started on our drinks at the bar and the staff checked up on us several times and apologized for the wait. Very friendly!
The place was so fun, we didn't mind the wait. There was a DJ and it was packed with a fun group of people! -

It can be kind of frustrating when random quirkiness wins a bar loads of attention, but in RnR's case it sort of deserves it. The place is well-designed, well-staffed and well-stocked. The atmosphere is calm yet eclectic, and the whole experience feels complete. That may seem like an odd statement but it's not rare to wander into a restaurant and feel that there is a certain element missing. RnR is not one of those places.
The service was above average, the waitress was knowledgeable about the menu & made a solid effort to ask if we needed more drinks or anything else.

This is a great place to sit on the patio when it's nice out and people watch (all the bros and all the older rich couples) in downtown Scottsdale. The service and management are phenomenal and super welcoming!
I especially recommend the Mac & Cheese. it's ridiculous!!!! (ask for bacon!!!)
Give it a whirl! -

I loved it here. I almost took a star away for slow service from Melissa, but...eh.
DJ, no cover, tons of fun. Someone even brought their baby in here so Im not sure what the rules are. Weirded me out actually, even though the baby had a faux hawk. We started around 2pm and carried into 7pm in the patio. The seating is great, be it cushioned patio chairs, or taller chairs and tables. I got their bloody mary, and it was my first one ever (TEE HEE.) It had a celery stalk in it, stuffed olives, and....a strip of bacon. FREAKING oh my it was so good. So I had about 4 and didnt feel too buzzed. I couldnt taste the alcohol so either it was very well made, or I liked them because they didnt have any alcohol in them at all lol. from 3pm-7pm there was HappyHour, even on Saturday! $5.99 appetizer menu which included sliders, ahi tacos, and other things I cant remember. The Ahi tacos are done in a gourmet'ish fashion. Its not on a tortilla, rather, a slice of jicama (which is spelled incorrectly on their happy hour folds) It was delicious! And Ive got beef with their sliders because the meat to bun ratio was laughable. It was like a meatball inside a burger bun. But veryyyyy tasty. Lastly, their jalapeno mac & cheese was tasty and so popular with our party. I agree, but the heart burn wasnt fun. About Melissa's service...having been a waitress I know its rough handling large parties. We were rolling in the twenties! Nonetheless, her attentiveness was noticeably poor. When I went to find her inside the restaurant to tell her my order, she looked annoyed. Meh. Anyway, my bill after 6 hours of drinking and eating was $50. WHa wha wha whaaaaaaaaat??
I wish I could take these bloody mary drinks home with me! -

Went in on Monday night , 4/16/2012, around 8pm. Place was nearly empty but it took forever to get our food which was an RnR burger and a pulled pork sandwich. I ordered BBQ sauce on the side in case I didn't care for it but the pork itself was very spicy like it was marinated or cook with very hot peppers. It was kind of off putting. My sweet potato fries were amazing. Some of the best I've ever eaten. Crispy and seasoned perfectly. Boyfriend said burger was ok and his healthy side of berries were yummy. Had a singer for mellow Monday and she was very good but I can't tell if it wants to be a restaurant or hipster bar with some appetizers. Just ok if you want a nice dinner that's not a $50 steak

I would give it a solid 4 stars
Yes the service was slow but they seem unstaffed & it wasn't snottsdale
Everything we ordered was good
The pulled pork sliders
The animal fries
& the ahi tacos - totally disappointing looking & small but the best thing ever
Yummy! & well priced for happy hour.
The drinks were decently poured ( better than saddle ranch)

The very definition of an average brunch. My omelet was pretty decent, and it's nice that they let you choose a bunch of ingredients if you want to. However the breakfast potatoes are extremely weak, fairly bland and underseasoned and are probably not hand cut and prepared. They are mixed with an uninspiring blend of green peppers. The rest of my table seemed to feel about as enthusiastic as I did about their breakfast burritos.
The service was also pretty slow. Despite the awesome patio and pretty good eye candy among the patronage here, this place is definitely one you can skip. -

My son and his family arrived into Scottsdale Tuesday April 10 on there way to California. We decided to eat at RnR before they continued there trip. My son and my wife ordered a hamburger and fries. The fries had no taste and my son asked for two new orders. My grandchildren ate the original fries, while the new fries loaded with Parmesan cheese. The fries were not hot, nor had the cheese melted. I had a few of the fries and did not have as severe a case of food poisoning as my son and my wife.
I have recommended RnR in the past. I do not think I will in the future. -

Worst. Brunch. Experience. Ever.
EVER.
Hubs and I wanted to try a new brunch spot and boy were we surprised!
This place is LOUD. LOUD. LOUD. It was 1pm on a Saturday and there was a DJ. I've been to brunch w/ a DJ before, which is generally pleasant since a good DJ would understand that Rhianna on 11 is not appropriate for broad daylight. Maybe I sound like a grandma, but I felt so sick to my stomach from the thumping bass that my brunch didn't sit well.
The service was quick, although I had to literally SHOUT at our server. The food tasted good and came out really fast. These are the only reasons I will give away 2 stars.
The parties at adjacent tables were shouting so loudly and obnoxiously that I ate my eggs and potatoes at light speed to get out of there ASAP.
If you want a club atmosphere 24/7, come here. If not, stay far, far away. -

RnR has a great ambiance and pretty good bar food. Seems a bit more upscale for a sports bar but it's not at all stuffy. They have a really nice outdoor seating area with couches and tall tables and heating if needed. Drinks are priced pretty average, but they have a really good happy hour. This will def be a place to return to every year for the Giant's Spring Training.

My maiden voyage to RnR started off shaky; my SO and I almost turned around when we first opened the door because there was an annoying DJ who was just loud as hell. Who thinks this is a good idea for Sunday morning, when all the poor, the downtrodden, and the hungover venture out for breakfast? I thought the club closed at 2 am last night.
Despite the dance remixes of Bon Jovi and too-cool-for-you crowd predominantly in their early 20s, Grandma and Grandpa decided to stay and indulge in some sundried tomato and goat cheese scrambled eggs, Chambord French toast, coffee, and Bloody Marys. I fully admit that the strip of bacon shoved in the Bloody Mary is totally surprising and off-putting for a vegetarian, but it is certainly creative. The Bloody was tasty, but slightly bland and nothing special. The scrambled eggs and hash browns (well done, natch) were huge and delicious, with plenty of tender sun dried tomatoes, but I had to save room for French Toast Mountain.
Good thing I did, and it's a damn good thing Fatty wore her stretchy jeggings, because I slurped my half of the French toast down and practically licked the plate clean. It was, bar none, the best French toast I have EVER had. Stuffed with sweet cream cheese, drenched in boozy raspberry sauce, and crowned with great fluffy piles of fresh whipped cream, it was a flavorful little orgasm on a plate.
Despite the remix of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (poor Kurt is SPINNING in his grave) and slightly questionable service (forgotten English muffin), we will be back -- but only on a day when we have nothing else to do but lay around the house, buzzed and in a lethal food coma.... just YUM. -

Went here for a post-conference "after party / happy hour". (The fabulous Mortgage Tech Summit. If you're in the real estate biz and missed it, you screwed up...)
The beer selection is marginal at best, though the African Amber was quite tasty.
Someone ordered some dish that was nacho-like -- potato chips with bacon, ranch, "buffalo sauce", and blue cheese. It was delightful. (You could put those ingredients on a piece of cardboard and it would be good. It's way better on crunchy potato chips though).
What I liked the best was the great service. Brittany kicked ass. She managed to keep my beer full and did separate checks for a crowd of 30ish that was constantly shifting around. All with a cheery smile.
Why do they call it "Happy Hour"? Shouldn't it be "Happy Hours"?? I mean really, does anyone stay for just one hour? -

Review from Shon P.
Essentially a sports bar, but has a more upscale flair. The decor is nice, and has very open layout--so an get a bit noisy. So be aware if you planned on having dinner conversation. But because of the open atmosphere, it is great for groups and people watching.
I actually love the breakfast here. It isn't as popular as some of the other spots on Scottsdale strip--so you can get seated and served rather quick. Also, it is a quick jaunt from the local farmers market, so you can stroll around afterwards.
The food is really good, fresh and well presented. I order hot tea for breakfast frequently-- and usually I just get an old Lipton bag with Luke warm water. This place gave me a nice tray with quality tea, lemon slices and piping hot water in nice mug.
Their side of fruit is also very nice -- you get a cup of fresh berries instead of the standard old honeydew chunks. Dinner is equally nice. You have the standard sports bar options (burgers, fries, etc.), but presentation and quality is stepped up a notch.Listed in: The Breakfast List

Love this spot- especially for weekend breakfasts. Not to sound like a pervert or anything, but the staff is quite good looking, and very nice as well. I've been here several times, and always received excellent service.
Good people-watching spot, but the food is also very good. Everything I've tried here has been scrumptious and fairly priced. Try the protein pancakes. Also, as others have stated, come here to take advantage of the bottomless mimosas. -

I love this place! The patio is amazing, especially if you get one of the end lounges to watch your game:). I have never had a bad meal here and I love the drink selection. Yes the music is loud for daytime, but it's still fun and usually has a unique crowd.
A must visit if you are new to the area or looking for a fun, funky place. -

Hit this place the week it opened, back about a year ago, and it was a disaster. music was too loud for how early it was (5pm), packed with typical scottsdale 30k millionaires looking to impress everyone, and intimidate the rest. Not my typical scene, but we stuck it out.
service was a mess, food was wrong, or just bad (our chicken "lollipops" tasted like they were fried in fish oil), but vowed to try it again.
during a calm happy hour on a tuesday afternoon in March (when the giants weren't playing), decided to give it another try. Service was much improved, no complaints. in fact, i would say that our waitress was great. she had great suggestions, explained some menu items and aspects of their happy hour, and was very attentive.
I was able to score a couple jack manhattans at happy hour pricing, which is always a plus, and the dirty chips were great. we decided to give the infamous "lollipop" chicken a second try, and it was great. went with the buffalo sauce and, while not really very spicy, they were tasty.
would definitely do it again for happy hour, if the atmosphere was right. -

I kinda think the employees hang out here for a little RnR with their paycheck. Service was not terrible, but given the fact the dining room was relatively empty, it should have been better. And while I appreciate the tasting menu (that would be the sauce no one bothered to wipe off), we went with just drinks and dirty chips.
My white sangria was just okay. The"dirty chips" (house-made potato chips topped with wing sauce, ranch dressing, bleu cheese, and bacon) were also okay, but the chips themselves were overly browned for my taste and there was entirely too much wing sauce on that plate. It made me want a piece of chicken to dip in there.
Not bad, but nothing left me wanting to rush back, although their breakfast menu is appealing. -

Ehhh. Food was okay. None of us were really impressed with our meal. It was overpriced for what it was. The atmosphere was trendy, but it didn't make up for the fact that my sandwich tasted like crap. The drinks are expensive. My sangria tasted like a newbie attempted to make it. Ugh. This place is LOUD. Good luck having a conversation at a normal level. At least we looked cool sitting in the booth...but we won't be going back.

Wandering around the avenue killing time we were getting hungry when the aroma of beef wafted by my nose...that and some pumping jams. "We have got to follow the smell and sound and find out what this place is!" I exclaimed. Led us to RnR. It was a Sunday and the noise was loud on the lower level as the games were on. The host asked us - after seeing the look on my face - if we wanted to go upstairs where it wasn't as loud. YES!
Upstairs on the outside balcony overlooking the street in November? YES! It was still loud but I didn't care I was enjoying the warmth. I had the slider sampler and hubs had a blue cheese burger; Beef good - beef friend! It was all very tasty. Hubs also had the dirty chips. The chips weren't bad, just a bit too sloppy for me, he ate them up. Then the live DJ started spinning some tunes I hadn't heard in awhile and all I could do was stand up and start head nodding and singing along.
I noticed they had some good looking breakfast items and that day the drink special appeared to be a really big pitcher of mimosas. Good times! When we return to Scottsdale we will hit them up again.
