June 2, 2025 - LongHorn Steakhouse - Mesa, Arizona

 My sister and her husband celebrated my upcoming 77th birthday with dinner at the LongHorn.

We started with drinks...accompanied with an oil and herb mixture for bread dipping .

Appetizer – White Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms

Dinner  - I ordered Flo’s 6 oz. Filet with a loaded Baked Potato and a Chopped Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing.

Jeanne and Willie shared a 22 oz. Fire-Grilled T-Bone Steak.  Willie had the Loaded Baked Potato and Jeanne ordered the Strawberry and Pecan Salad.

Dessert – Jeanne and Willie brought in a darling small – 3-tier Carrot Cake…and the wait staff brought me a Ice Cream Sundae which I shared with Jeanne and Willie.

Comments – I felt right at home in this restaurant.  It was a Montana style steakhouse

March 1, 2025 - Main Burgers - Mesa, Arizona

 This is a new burger joint in Mesa.  My friend Peg and I decided to give it a try.  

We both ordered the Classic Burger  - single patty with American cheese, pickles, caramelized onions, lettuce and house sauce…and fries and a drink.  I wish that I had taken a picture because the buns were beautiful.  (And presentation is such a big part of the meal.)  The meat was good tasting.  My fries were hot and crisp.  We ate inside so our meals were brought to us.

 I will be returning because there are two other burgers and a hot dog on the menus…and I am trying every one of them.

 It is a cute…small little restaurant where you stand in line and order.   There is some indoor seating.  Lots of seating on the patio overlooking Main Street and the light rail…but there was so much activity going on in downtown Mesa…that it made for a fun experience on the patio.  Plus one could enjoy the music from across the street at Pedal Haus Bier Gardens.  Who could ask for more on a nice mild Saturday evening.  I love what is happening in downtown Mesa.

The service by the entire staff was excellent.
