Mesa Sub Zero Repair

Jun 2024

I moved away from AZ, but back in the day, the Drummer in Mesa was my local hangout. I often come by when I am in town to see old friends and get some amazing wings or a hamburger. I stopped by Sunday, May 26th, for lunch and was surprised to see that the owners have changed. The atmosphere was still very welcoming, so I decide to stay and have a hamburger. The food is still as great as ever and the staff were very friendly. My only issue is that there is a sign on the wall that says, all tabs will have an automatic 20% tip added, no exceptions. Ok, I am fine with that as it was posted very clearly. But, I paid in cash when asked if I wanted to run a tab, only had one drink and the hamburger. To me, by definition, a tab is something you continue to run while being at the establishment for more awhile. I was charged the automatic 20% tip and on top of that I was shorted $0.52 in change. Meal and drink were $9, tax $0.68 and $1.80 added tip, total = $11.48, I gave a $20 bill and got back $8. If I had paid by credit card it would have been $11.88. Now I understand that times have changed and a lot of establishments are passing off credit card fees on to the customer and I am fine with that and why I carry cash, but I did not pay by credit card and I did not run a tab. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and talking with the staff and may have tipped more than 20%, but not my choice and as I see it my tip was already increased to almost 26% by not giving correct change of $8.52.

I actually haven't been but my dad used to take me to the Dirty Drummer when it was at this location between '95-'01. Laughably, I was like 6 or 7 when we'd go and only there because our parents lived at Farmstead before it was the Verandas and it was their fav. But at least according to photos, it hasn't changed much and I love that. Food, drink and ambiance looks the same and it was my fav. Glad to see an old bar keep its cool.

If you're searching for a place that combines delicious food, attentive service, great music, live entertainment, and even some gaming options - Mesa Drummer Bar & Grill should be at the top of your list. The family owned staff ensures that every guest feels welcomed and taken care of, from the moment you walk in. Sports fans will also appreciate the multiple TVs placed throughout. The food is amazing here! I highly recommend trying the fried catfish. It will leave you craving more with each bite. Trust me when I say that this Catfish is the best that I've tried in the Valley, it deserves all the praise. They even have Soul food Sundays which offer a wide variety of buffet style food. I highly recommend this hidden gem.
