I can't believe I haven't been here before. After a long day at the mall, dealing with way too many Christmas shoppers, all I wanted was a quiet dinner before heading back home with the family. My kids suggested Augie's. At first I was worried that it would be the typical, loud, overcrowded sports bar. Though we did have to wait for a table (it was, after all, Saturday night), it wasn't annoyingly loud at all.
I was a little taken aback by the prices...that is, until the food came. The portions are HUGE and the food is really good!
The best part of the night: there was a live band playing music from the 50's through today- mostly rock- and everyone was dancing. My sons and I danced to several songs. My husband and I did as well. It was so much fun! My eldest son (10) was a hit with the ladies as he did the can-can with them to "New York, New York"! I must say I was definitely happily surprised. We will be back; with and without the kids! -

I dropped into Augie's about 10pm Saturday night because as I drove past, the outdoor patio was jammed with people dancing to a live band which sounded great. While clean and easily accessible, my first opinion once inside was, Yep... its a sports bar.
The live band I have since been told, was named "Thaddeus Rose" playing 70s to modern top 40s music and was really great! Had the crowd of very mixed ages (children as well) dancing, laughing and enjoying themselves when I arrived.
The help was friendly offering me a drink and a menu a few minutes after I sat down. I might add, it would have been better to get my order immediately rather than leave me sitting there - uncomfortably alone and empty handed - for a few minutes to long. If I had NOT been alone, it would not have mattered as much.
The beer was ice cold however and once I got my first beer, the staff was great, offering a menu as well. If you are a sports fan, you'll love all the games and sporting events displayed on the televisions surrounding the bar and eating area.
The prices on food and drinks seemed alright but again, I did not sample any food here so I can not comment on that aspect but the atmosphere was nice and not to loud. (at least inside by the bar.).
On a sided note, the mens' bathroom was out of hand towels so I had the pleasure of air drying my hands, on my pants.
It is NOT the kind of place I'd bring a first date but I plan on going back with friends to watch a game or two and do some drinking. -

I've eaten here a few times while watching bands and that's a fun experience. I will say up front I'm not a sports bar kind of girl, so that dozens of TV's all tuned to sports isn't my thing, and of course does impact my review. The food is really great, though. The pretzel buns they use for the burgers are amazing. And my Mom swears by their pizza when she comes out to visit. They're a bit pricey, but always have coupons in the val-pak, so you can get discounts at least. Average overall, not my favorite place, but definitely not my least favorite, either.

4 STARS. Good beer. Very good food. These guys do ribs and burgers in awesome ways. The tacos were a big bad do not order - they have a cheesy jalepeno mix and did not taste real at all. I sent them back. The owner says they have cheddar. Ask for cheddar! The service is prompt and polite. They have real music on the night I dropped in. It was first-class. The patio is also a bonus. I would consider coming back. People were lively and happy here. Honestly.

We live in the area so we thought we would give the local sports bar a shot...This is a nice clean small sports bar, with plenty of T.V.s. We went there on a Monday, and wanted to just have a drink and a few appetizers.
We ordered the Pretzel sticks and the wings.
Pretzel sticks - I've definitely had better, they came out burnt, and hard, I had to pick out the center and eat them that way so we didn't waste our money, how disappointing. Came with honey mustard and jalapeno cheddar... meh.
Jamaican Jerk wings - on Monday's they're .35 cent wings specials! Which we had to find out ourselves of course when we saw our bill and realized it was cheaper than we thought... would've been nice of the server to mention any specials? Don't you think??
They have an OK selection of beer
Service was slow, I understand that your restaurant is a "sports bar" and YOU think people wouldn't expect the best service, but I don't think that the servers should be walking around lazily with such a sluggish attitude. -

Great happy hour! Lots of good beer on tap. Found my new favorite Leinenkoogals Sunset Wheat. If you like Blue Moon, you'll love this one. Make sure to have the pretzel sticks with you beer, they are delicious! Staff is friendly and never let your chilled glass stay empty.

Bad Food and Worse Service. I don't think that they like or want customers. We waited for 10 minutes to get seated, another 10 minutes for our waitress to come by and 40 more minutes for our food. No explanation, no apology. I'm not one who likes to complain but when I mentioned our disappointment to the night manager, he told me that if I didn't like my experience, I didn't have to come back. I think I'll take his advice.

I am not sure where to start...... After meeting some friends for a bbq my wife suggested that we stop for a few drinks at Augie's.
We arrived about 8:15 and the place was pretty busy. We found a seat at the bar and ordered a couple of beers and cheese sticks. I guess they didnt hear our order because we received Pretzels and cheese instead. Not a big deal but WTF....
They had music playing and a customer who looked somewhat like Jabba the Hut (seriously) wasnt satisfied with the volume turned it up many times and the staff kept turning it down. This was happening while many families were there trying to enjoy there meals.
This bar came complete with a overweight drunk girl that was making her way around the bar and kissing multiple guys and trying to jam her tongue as far down their throat as possible. She apparently was friends with the young female bartender who continued to watch her and give her shots. I guess I expect this at other places such as Roman's Oasis but what a treat to see this while enjoying a few beers and Pretzels.
Dont stop reading...... We are just getting to the good part.
I noticed a drunk young guy sitting at the end of the bar. He had a baseball cap on and his face was very red. His eyes were closed from time to time while he was waiting for his friends to return. I could tell he was trashed... I told my wife to take and look and sure enough when she did, he threw up a little bit on the bar and his hand. He cleaned it up a bit but just sat there. I told both the bartenders and they did NOTHING.... A few minuted later he had major projectile vomit at the bar. I told the manager (who apparently couldnt see what we were watcing) and he went to talk to the customer. The manager asked him to leave but I guess in not a very forceful way because the customer finished his beer and then left.
The end of our incredible visit was capped off by the following event. The bartender came and told me that "the guy at the end of the bar wants to buy you a drink". I asked "does he want to buy me a drink or my wife?". She stated that he wanted to buy us both a drink. I told her "no thank you". My wife went to the restroom shortly after this and "the guy at the end of the bar" followed her. He returned before she did and came over to talk to me. He explained that he was a regular at the bar and continued talking to me about a bunch of nonsense and soon I just ignored him until he left. I am confused why a self proclaimed college student would want to buy us drinks.
This place needs help... I am not sure the owner knows this is going on. If the owner is the manager I spoke to, then he is in way over his head.
It will not survive..... If it does, it wont be from me spending money there.3 Previous Reviews: Show all »

We had the pleasure of eat at Augie's tonight and glad we did! Very good food and the pretzel buns are awesome! I had a buffalo chicken sandwich and wife had the chili burger and we were both very impressed. Good service, high quality food, more flat panel TV's that you could shake a stick at, very nice decor (even in the bathrooms!)
We have a cat named Auggie so kinda cool to visit "her place" :)
We got to meet the owner and seemed very appreciative to have patrons (as he should) and seem genuine in asking for feedback on our meals. -

Here is the scenario... Baseball team and a few wives need to get a bite after playing baseball all day in a tournament. The main requirement is TVs. Quality and type of food not important, though greasy fare is always welcomed by boys watching sports. Where do you go when you are at the Goodyear ball park and want something close so you do not miss a minute more of the World Series? Augie's, apparently.
We were very happy to find lots of TVs, and almost all of them with the baseball game on. We took up a huge portion of the bar area booth and table seating and faced in all directions, needing the multiple televisions. This location became important two days in a row out at Goodyear, though I will only be writing about the first when we had some of the Augie's greasy food.
We did order just that. We could have opted for some salads or more meal like items but did not really want to eat too heavy, even though it was more like dinner time. We had had a decent size lunch and just were not really ready yet. So, we god iced tea, a lemonade, pretzel sticks, southwest egg rolls and waffle fries. Like I said, grease.
The service was just average and our food really seemed to take forever. I guess deep frying everything takes time. Our appetizers arrived and everything really looked tasty. The pretzel sticks, which I am always a sucker for, looked really delicious. I doubt them make them fresh here, but I am not that picky. They were big, fluffy and fresh. Better than most ball park ones I have had. The honey mustard dip was great but the cheesy one was to wine tasting for me. The fries were fries. I wish they had had a little more spice to them. The southwest egg rolls were yummy. I have had them other places and they were pretty comparable.
Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Everyone seemed happy. The boys got beer, greasy fare and tv's. The Giants won, so they were all ecstatic! Our food was pretty good and the waitress did an above average job of keeping our drinks with something in them. If you are nearby and need to watch some sports and get a little appetizer food and drinks, this is a good choice. -

I am not sure how the food or drinks are at this place because they were so understaffed, we were unable to get a beer. After putting our name in, we went to the bar and waited for at least 10 minutes and could not get any service. There was one bartender and she was working hard. I cannot believe this place would be short staffed on a Saturday night. There was a Spring Training game that night, too and only a couple of places to grab a bite prior to the game. One would think there would be several bartenders on a night like this. We decided to leave and probably not come back.

Well, I was kind of excited trying this place out because it looks like a nice place from the outside but it turned out to be just a Meh experience. My wife had a burger and salad, and I had some wings. The wings were good sized but the taste was just ok. My wife's burger was cooked good (med. - med. rare) but the bun was really hard. She ended up taking the bun off. The prices here seemed really high for the type of food, I can think of several places to go where the food is better and it would not of cost as much. Would I go here again, probably not. I would definitely not go out of my way.

Went to watch the UFC fight. They have never charged a cover. Half way through they suddenly put a $9.80 charge on the bill saying it's for $5 cover for each person. $9.80???
Cover is charged at the door!!! No sign, no mention of it at the door even though they knew we were there for the fight.
Then a number of people suddenly started seeing it on their bills. Everybody started to complain but the manager/owner? said it is what it is. He says everyplace charges cover and that they have always charged cover. Their waitress said they haven't charged a cover before.
He tells me that if I don't like paying for a cover I could watch the fight somewhere else. Finally after many complaints he started taking the cover off the bill for people who spoke up. I'm pretty sure he didn't do it for everyone.
It was like they didn't make enough money that night from drinks/food etc so they needed to make it up so started charging cover after the fact.
It wasn't even about the money but the way they did things. Very poor managment. Won't be going back their again! -

Augies was recommended by a friend and said it was a great small mom and pop place.. The food was great for a bar and grill and the service at least on my first visit was great.
Love the pretzels and the hamburgers on a pretzel bun. The beer selection is respectable.
Definitely the place to go if you are tired of the buffalo wild wings and other places that are overrun by annoying punks and loud mouths during ball games. -

Great food and service a hidden gem. There is also live music on Saturday nights. Their menu has some of the best pizza I have had since leaving the East Coast. The portions are generous and the staff keeps the drink refills coming. You should also try the burgers on pretzel buns, this is not fast food burger for sure.

We had a coupon from the local mailer and decided to stop by for a bite.
First off, pretty good atmosphere, the place was hopping and we had to wait a few minutes to get an open table. Exactly how I like my restaurants.
They had a small selection of beers but had our favorites, including a Guiness for me and Woodchuck Cider for my wife. On happy hour, both were 3 bucks for a pint. Not bad at all.
I had the fish and chips special, which was a couple small hushpuppies, two large pieces of beer battered cod, and fries. Fish was cooked perfectly and was very tasty.
My wife had the buffalo chicken sandwich and onion rings. The rings were a bit greasy, but the sandwich was excellent. On top of their pretzel "bun" was two huge chicken breast dredged in the perfect buffalo sauce. Almost enough food for two people to share.
Overall we had a great experience and will definitely be back with friends to dine. -

Been to Augie's on a few occasions and always enjoyed myself. Great TVs, good layout, and the most amazing staff at any Sports Bar in the Valley. The staff is very attentive and makes sure that you are well taken care of (that is worth 4 stars right there). They have a very good beer list for both draft and bottle, and the bartenders know their stuff.
The food is spectacular. I went in expecting the typical "Buffalo Wings and Burgers" but was really surprised with how versatile the menu is. The burgers all come on an amazing pretzel bun, and the meat is fresh. They have amazing offers during happy hour which includes half price apps as well. Try the pretzels. Large, soft pretzels served warm with a side of sweet mustard or a cheesy jalapeno sauce.
As for what W.S. had to say about no UFC Fight: That was the first weekend of the NCAA Basketball Tourney and everyone in the place was wrapped up in good college basketball. Just because they aren't pandering to the Tap-Out T-Shirt crowd over the largest sporting tournament doesn't make them 'busch (sic) league', it just makes them savvy business owners. -

This place has awesome burgers. Definitely, one of the best burgers in town. If you are in the mood for a burger and fries, this is the place to try. Have not tried anything else on the menu so I really can't rate the other food. I'll keep coming back for the burgers!

I've eaten at this place twice and have had mixed experiences. My first time was good enough for a return visit. The second time, well, didn't quite live up to my expectations. My first visit was on a weekday in the middle of the afternoon and the place was dead. Service was good and I had a club sandwich and a salad and everything was very good. The sandwich was large with generous portions of meat. The salad was excellent quality for a sports bar and the dressing was fantastic. Our second visit we went for happy hour and the place was a zoo. There was a table of about 20 people who probably worked together making all kinds of racket and several women were noticeably drunk and obnoxiously loud. The NBA Finals were on and I actually I had to ask the waitress to put the game on, which was also kind of annoying. Its a sports bar for crying out loud! I was very hungry. We ordered wings and when our waitress brought them out I immediately lost my appetite. They looked disgusting. I tried one and couldn't even finish it. They had freezer burn, small and bony and the sauce was peculiar too. My girlfriend thought they were fine and I let her eat them and ordered some chicken tenders. The tenders turned out good, but between the wings and the noise I was too thrilled about my visit. Also, the TV's they have a very nice, but the layout of the restaurant limits your viewing pleasure. Many tables and booths don't offer good views. My family lives right around the corner from this place so I may return to watch a game there, but I would only give it one more chance. Probably not recommended.
