Seat yourself restaurants, especially sports bars during large sporting events like March Madness, make me uncomfortable. I hate hawking tables waiting for people to leave so I can jump in the booth while they are bussing the table. \n\nAfter 8+ hours of watching March Madness at home on Saturday, my husband and I decided to venture up to Zipps in Scottsdale to catch the second half of the last games of the day. Luckily despite the crowd and having to seat yourself, we got a table within five minutes or so of arriving. Our waitress was very nice and even when she got my order wrong, she fixed it quickly and apologized for it. We had the chicken nachos which I didn't care for too much because they use shredded chicken and I prefer the pieces of chicken meat. My husband had a slice of pepperoni pizza (described as just OK by him) and I had the chicken caesar foccacia with half onion rings (for my husband) and half french fries. If the menu hadn't said my sandwich was supposed to be on foccacia, I would have never guessed. It came out as a wrap cut in five pieces and it was almost impossible to eat as everything kept falling out. The onion rings and fries were forgettable...supposedly the fries are fresh cut, but I didn't get that sense. Thankfully prices are incredibly moderate and for our food and 2 32 oz domestic drafts ($4 after 8 on Saturdays), our bill came to $29 without tip.\n\nIt looks like Zipps has a pretty decent happy hour and also runs nightly specials after 8 pm. There are TVs throughtout the inside and on the patio, so it is a good place to catch sports...they had two different college games on that we could see plus the Suns game. I will go back to drink some beer, watch sports, and play shuffleboard (or shufflepuck as it is called in Ohio), but not for the food.
