Tailgaters & IL Primo Goodyear — Restaurant in Goodyear

Gotta read the whole thing. It's a review of several months past and many visits.

Excellent place to sit and watch some games. Be sure to have some patience as their service is slower than molasses and the waitresses are not all that friendly (on the verge of being rude). We had a combination of foods and all were pretty good. The burgers and the sweet potato fries were awesome. Their regular fries were crispy yummy. Had some cheese curds with the pizza bites and even those were hot and yummy, perfect with a beer... if the beer came with the food and was cold. Like I said, their service is not all that. The waitresses that we had and others that came by had ABSOLUTELY no personality. We asked about certain foods and was told that she didn't eat meat and couldn't tell us anything about the menu. Almost left and went to another restaurant due to the rude response. Being a new place in the area they should at least know a bit about the menu to help their customers. The place has almost any sports game available up on their TVs covering all walls. Pretty cool for those sports fans. Pretty cool place to sit back (as you wait) and watch a game and drink a beer.

Ok y'all... above was my first impression. The waitresses are getting better. Still not the best but getting better. The same is with the drinks. Omg! Went in on a Friday, the bartender is pretty awesome. You would expect the happy hour drinks to be watered down and not all that great, but you drink them because they are cheaper... well, heck no here. Their drinks are pretty good. Totally worth the happy hour. We had the fish fry and they were hot and the outside perfectly seasoned and done. It was pretty dang yummy. Their fries are the seriously the bomb, even the sweet potato fries. The coleslaw was just the bagged stuff you get at the store. Nothing great about that. So, I will keep on going to try them out. We all have growing pains.

So, several months have passed. I can now say that I am addicted. I don't know what they do to their fries but they are like cracked out fries that you just can't not eat. The servers have totally redeemed themselves and are friendly and attentive. You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu. It's all really good. (Still personally not digging the coleslaw, but that's just me) The seating outside is pretty good. They have little heaters to take the chill off since it has been a little cold. Their TVs are still tuned to any and all sports imaginable. Their drinks are still knock your socks off awesome. The wait is worth it for some good food and...

I don't normally post about restaurants but I wanted to write this post because I was so disappointed in our lunch. 1st let me start with our pizza was fabulous but that's where it ends... I know that staff is hard to come by right now and we had one waitress servicing the entire half of the restaurant front so I was Very forgivable in that fact... that being said, people that came in AFTER us had their food and drinks before we had our beers and appetizer... we sat for 45 minutes after that waiting for our food to come... We ordered nachos for an appy that had no cheese only saucey salsa And the chips were so thin that it was nothing but mush halfway through.... Found a super black French fry at the bottom of the nachos... Ordered a Cobb salad the lettuce was wilted, there were a few pieces of Brown avocado and what I think was bacon... don't know, didn't eat it. My husband ordered the beef dip and it was so dry that he could barely swallow it even with the au jus.... The meat even had a funky color because it was so dry who knows how long that had been sitting out... our server did notice that he didn't eat that and took it off the tab, but said nothing of the untouched salad. It makes me sad because this used to be our favorite little neighborhood hang out and I can tell you that this will be my family's last date at this location. Poor service, poor food and the floors and...

Da toppings, whoa, dey took it to anuddah level! We tried da mushroom & pepperoni and da majestic Bacon Cheeseburger, topped with double beef, bacon, and all da good stuff. Delizioso! 🥓🍔🍕😋

Da flavors, were off da charts! Da tangy tomato sauce and da gooey cheese, all blended togethah like a hula dance in my mouth. And those fresh mushrooms and savory pepperoni on da Pepperoni pizza? Straight fireworks of flavor, man! It was like a party in my taste buds, seriously. 🎉🤤🍕

Da staff was as friendly as Uncle Kimo from da North Shore. Dey knew da menu inside out and made great recommendations.
