7 reviews for Altitudes Bar and Grill
One of the best places to go to in Flagstaff.
Look up "Bar Food" in the dictionary, and there should be a picture of this restaurant.
Everything is freshly made, even the drinks, and the concept of the "Train Shot" is amazing. The staff is friendly, although a little slow, but really, when you go there, you're there to have a good time.
The live music on Fridays is usually pretty bad, so avoid it then, but go there for lunch/dinner any other time. You'll have a fun time.
Try the margaritas, the tea, the burgers, and the Potato Skins. OH yes, the Potato Skins.
Decent selection of beers on tap, outdoor seating which has its pluses and minus. Up to beat the heat and enjoy the weather, smokers put a bit of damper on this however, and there were many.
Service this day was bad. Poked my head in the door to inquire about getting a table and was told to just grab a table and they would find us. Perhaps they needed GPS or a few more servers as it took at least 15 minutes just to get a menu. Surrounding tables were not happy at the length of time it was taking to get their food and drink. One patron commented that she would like to change her salad dressing choice, but did not want to wait an hour. Uh oh. Good thing we were just taking it all in and had no real plan or I would have walked. Ordered beers that took forever and a day to arrive. No kidding, seated for about 35 minutes before the drinks were dropped. Split a burger with green chile, bacon and cheese and it was pretty tasty, Steam Engine lager on tap a plus, but the service was just awful. Pass.
This place barely deserves one star. The boyfriend and I were in Flagstaff last weekend to escape the Phoenix heat. Unfortunately, many restaurants in Flag are closed on Sunday so we thought we'd give Altitudes a try for dinner since it was close by and we were starving. We were in the mood for cheeseburgers and figured a bar would have decent burgers and fries. At least we were right about the fries.
But before I get into the food I have to mention our horrible waitress. When she first ran by our table and threw down the menus without so much as a hello we should have known better and left. All the waitresses seemed hurried even though it was not very busy. There was even one girl who was frantically trying to find a customers credit card. (Turned out she gave it to the wrong person.) When our waitress came to take our order she just said "so?" and looked at us. We looked back, paused and gave our order, both thinking she could have been a little nicer. Even a "what can I get you?" would have been better.
So we get our food and our burgers are each on a huge bun that's very dry. The burgers themselves were burned (we asked for medium) and just lacking in any flavor. And they weren't cheap. $9 plus $.50 per topping, like cheese. The fries and onion rings were good though. In fact, they were the only good thing about the whole experience.
The waitress never came back to check on us, only stopping by eventually to drop off the check without saying a word - no thank you, no come back again, nothing.
Needless to say, we will not be going back to Altitudes again.
We were searching for a place to grab a quick bite and Altitudes seem busy so we figured it must be ok. The hostess told us to sit anywhere but never brought us menus. We had to ask after 10 min. We ordered chicken strips and chilli fries, it took over an hour to get our food and we were not impressed. The chicken strips were $9 and we got 4 little pieces (some pieces were mostly batter); the fries were cold ($8). Our waitress never checked on us to even refill our drinks.
As we were leaving a man came in to complain that they automatically added gratuity to his bill and he would not tip them that much when it took over an hour for burgers. The manager's response was "well it's not fast food" and refused to appologize or refund him. No way will we ever go back!
What can I say I'm a sucker for a catchy marketing ploy. And two dollar shots when the train is rolling By is perfect! Especially when it's homemade strawberry infused vodka. Oh and the live music is good stuff to sing along to.
The New England Clam Chowder on Fridays is better than sex.
...what? no review for altitudes. strange...
lemme start by saying.........."TRAIN SHOT!" had a few of those...this place is right by the tracks, and every time the train goes by you can get a shot. totally indigenous to this restaurant and wicked cool. when i was there it was pineapple infused vodka...tasty.
i went with a bunch of guys from work while we were on a mission up in flag. luckily we got there during happy hour and agreed to drink beer and share half price appetizers...GREAT DECISION. the beer selection is more than your typical "bud, bud light, mgd, corona" kinda place...any place with blue moon is good in my book and i am NOT a beer drinker! we got the nachos (massive!), the quesadilla (SPICY!!!!!!!!!), deep fried portabello mushrooms (my new favorite thing!), potato skins (always good) and wings (HOT HOT HOT!). we ended up eating almost everything and only paid about 20 bucks each between the 5 of us with a GREAT tip for the waiter (who ROCKED!) i will definitely be hitting this place up again...and you should too!
