Famous 48

Another great experience at Famous 48 in Scottsdale. We decided to have the trio dip & warm chips and the Famous 48 skewers.The skewers were chicken and beef with a dipping sauce along with cilantro rice. Both dishes were on the Happy Hour menu 3 to 6. Margarita was also great at a reduced price. Staff was very friendly and got another bowl of chips for us.Inside and out dining with a large bar with many TV's .

Highlight were the egg rolls and the cornbread...really good stuff. The fish n chips is good, not great, needs more crunch and am used to coleslaw with them. The fries were pretty great, nice and crispy.Nice spot, great to watch the game and very friendly people. I'll definitely come by to check out their happy hour next!

A "meh" rating is probably generous for overpriced food and mediocre service. Staff could be more personable and food more palatable. Plus they tend to "surcharge" for minor items.

THEY HAVE REAL STEAK TIPS! As long as I've known my Bostonian husband, he's been going on and on about how he wants real steak tips like back home. Apparently these aren't the same as beef tips that are smothered in gravy. It's been over a decade and we stumbled across this place when in Scottsdale. The look on his face was enough. They were really good with nice dippers. Along with that we had the deviled eggs which were great too. My kiddo loved the grilled chicken sandwich. They have a pretty sweet happy hour as well. We will definitely be back!

We visited for the first time for Arizona Restaurant Week and it was a great deal! Southwest Eggrolls were delicious, we also got prime rib which was a 3.5/5 and the dessert was amazing! They have a great HH menu, which I plan to go back for.

Headed out for some food and found ourselves with a craving for steaks. This was a great choice! It was that perfect time after lunch but before the dinner rush so our food was prompt and our server was attentive. We both ordered the prime rib, medium rare, and they were both succulent and meaty. I had the creamiest mashed potatoes as a side and hubby had a very cheesy Mac and Cheese. We also split an order of grilled asparagus and they were perfectly charred. Unfortunately, we didn't have room for dessert but we'll come back to try the crumble for sure!

I've been to Famous 48 twice now, and it was great on both visits. I was staying down the street at the Hyatt and it's a very short walk to Famous 48.Drinks: They have a great beer selection and cocktail menu. My favorite is their Snowbowl Whiskey and Coke. It's basically a coke Icee/Slurpee with Buffalo Trace Bourbon. It is ridiculously good, and I never order frozen drinks. I've also had the Old Fashioned. It comes with a big cube and is solid.Wings: They're called grilled drumettes here. I get the Buffalo sauce. It comes on the side. They come grilled and they're on point. I like that they have a half order option, so I can have a few wings and not fill up.Prime Rib: They offer Prime Rib daily and it's really good. I've had it twice and it's been cooked a perfect medium rare both times. It comes with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Service: I had great service on both visits. Final Thoughts: Famous 48 is a great option when in The Gainey Ranch area of Scottsdale. Super convenient if you're staying at The Hyatt Regency. The menu has lots of choices and great drink options as well. I would definitely return to Famous 48 the next time I'm in Scottsdale.

I've been here a few times over the years, and it suits the bill for a neighborhood sports bar and restaurant. The have a large bar and indoor and patio dining with plenty of TVs.I really like their chicken nachos. The beer selection is good and Church Music or Tower Station IPAs are always a good call. On this last visit my friend enjoyed his Athletic Brewing non-alcoholic IPA.

Gluten free and dairy light eater. There is a great sports bar and relaxing hangout vibe going on here. I liked how large it was. Sit down tables, high tops, and outdoor seating.Our waitress was helpful and got our orders in quick. I ordered a Cobb salad and a side of fries. My mom ordered the Cesar with chicken. My husband ordered a famous burger. My salad was pretty decent, enough for two meals. But it wasn't exciting. I enjoyed it and a three rating for me is decent. I'd come back for the salad. My mom liked hers but the same as mine nothing exciting. My husband got their notable burger and it was over cooked and just basic. The food was definitely not bad. Just average. I'd have to come back again and try more options. Another small issue I had. As a gf eater it's a pain for me to always ask the wait staff what is gf. Or how can it be made gf. The menu was not helpful. If I was going to order take out from here I would have to ask questions about all the menu. Sometimes I may know but always better to ask. So if the menu online was more clear on how to make things gf or what can be with a substitute then it's helpful for other gf people like me.

My fiancé and I came to Famous 48 for arizona restaurant week. The deal was too good to pass up!!!! $55 for an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert.We ordered the southwest egg rolls as our starter - there was great flavor inside the actual egg roll - there was a delicious sauce inside with a kick. It had corn, beans, and chicken. It was served with a salsa verde sauce.We both got the fish n chips. The fish was fried perfectly - the batter was a little thick but the fish was nice and moist inside and the tartar sauce was delicious. The side of fries was also good - salted enough and very crispy but soft in the middle. The entree was so big that I only finished about half of my fries.We finished the meal with a skillet cookie. The cookie is thinner but covers a good area. The gooey cookie paired perfectly with the vanilla ice cream.Will definitely be back for a sports Sunday with all of their TV's around! And their food was great too
