Cactus Jack's Grill - Phoenix

Awesome little venu with great servers and bars staff. The food was excellent and so were the bands.

Always a great time. I've been to see several bands of different genres there and they never disappoint! Service is always wonderful there and a friendly crowd. I haven't ordered food there so I can't speak to it at all.

Terrible service!!! Went for a comedy show, ordered chicken tenders around 7:30ish. I walked up to the counter at 9:40 (the end of the show)and cancelled the order. 2 hours is a bit too long to wait for tenders, ya know! And then to top it off, the waitress/bar tender, tried to put the blame on me!! She said we brought it out and you were missing.... Mind you, I'm literally watching a comedy show... I haven't moved from my seat since it started!!! I will not go back here!!

Great service and the beer is cold. Had some chicken fingers and they were tasty. I go on Wednesday night for the line dance classes. Lots of fun.

Wow, on the positive side, this place hosts truly some of the very BEST variety of music and musicians and bands in the entire Phoenix area (and I 've been to many) but on the negative side, the volume of the music will split an eardrum and forget being able to communicate with your friends over the blasts. On the positive side, they do a great job of posting and updating their official website so you can PLAN your entertainment. If you want to hear great music with a nice atmosphere and dance floor, this is the place. However, on the negative side, and the only reason for a score of 3 instead of 5: the volume of the music the night we were there August 13 was too loud to even be able to speak to your friends unless you leaned over and yelled directly into their ear from one inch away. Such a shame. We paid for tickets online, arrived early, and left just 20 minutes after the music started out of fear of a busted eardrum. Never mind trying to meet new people and have any sort of conversation... impossible. Imagine this: Hey, would you like to dance? and the person answers you back, What did you say, you like my pants? NOT! The large band could have easily played an auditorium, but unfortunately we were in a small bar. The group of people we dance with like to be able to chit-chat a little, at least to be able to hear someone when they ask, Want to share some nachos? so we will probably not be going back to Cactus Jacks ONLY for that reason. Everything else about the place was awesome: EXCELLENT waitress and bartender service, gorgeous dance club atmosphere with a variety of table sizes and height, tablecloths, digital light-dimming candles on the tables, 3 big screen TVs to show the performers closeup, limited dance floor, friendly employees, in-house security, friendly front-door greeters like Mary, many typical bar-type food options on the menu, and fair prices for the performance tickets.
