Sidewinder — Restaurant in Phoenix

This place slaps!! Small shoebox sized cozy interior with a few bar seats, great spacious outdoor patio. We tried 5-6 items on the menu and all of them led to big smiles and messy hands. Sloppy Joe, frito pie, slaw dog, jalapeño cheddar sausage sando and the potato salad were the delicious menu options we ordered. The only reason I won’t be ordering them next time is because I’ll be trying the rest of the menu. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE SLOPPY JOE! You won’t be disappointed. As a bonus - they do $5 Fernet shots and have a very reasonable and well crafted cocktail menu. Don’t let the plastic cups alter your opinion of a dirty martini - it’s stellar.

No frills here. They know what dirty means when you ask for a dirty martini.

The bar manager was extremely rude to our group. We went outside to smoke a cigarette in their outdoors patio (away from any other patrons) and aggressively came outside to yell at all of us to smoke at a different side of their outside patio? We obeyed and got up to move and NOT EVEN 5 SECONDS LATER she came back outside to yell at us even louder. Like sorry we didn’t move at flash speed? The bartender also sucked. She was inattentive and looked like she didn’t really wanna be there. Sucks because the food was good but we will definitely NEVER be back after the way we were treated…...
