Filly's Lounge - Apache Junction

We visited Filly's because my mother-in-law is a big fan of their chicken, and they certainly deliver on that front. The fried chicken is excellent. I ordered the chicken finger basket for $8.95, while my wife chose the chicken Caesar salad, also priced at $8.95. My mother-in-law opted for fried chicken livers paired with fried sweet potatoes. The service was prompt and friendly. In the evenings, there’s live music and dancing, which adds to the fun atmosphere. The restaurant has an Old West vibe, complete with hitching rails out back for those who arrive on horseback. There are also outdoor tables and a dance floor available.

The music was fantastic, and the food was enjoyable. However, the staffing was quite lacking across the board. We had brought friends and family to visit, but we were a little disappointed. The shortage of staff was evident, as we waited nearly 40 minutes in line just to get drinks. Additionally, strong wind gusts forced the staff to take down the umbrellas, making it a bit too sunny to stay comfortably. Overall, the level of service was not as good as we've experienced in the past. I assured our guests that we would give it another try, hoping for a better experience next time.

The restaurant offers delicious food, great entertainment, and friendly staff. The atmosphere is welcoming, attracting a devoted crowd of regulars. While it might be a bit of a journey for some, the experience is definitely worth it.

I've always loved this place; it usually has the best food around, especially the chicken. If I can offer some advice, don't let the snowbirds whine and complain about how long it takes for the food to be prepared. Stick to making it from scratch like you usually do. I've seen too many restaurants get ruined because of a few complaints from city folks.

For 10 years LIEBE IT! Great atmosphere, good clientele, good food (best wings in town). The terrace is more fun than you can imagine.
