The Hub Grill and Bar

By far the best wait staff, food, and attention to detail I have ever experienced at a pub. My family and friends ALWAYS want to come back.

Do you like wings? No! Do you LOVE wings? This is the place for us! Best ‘smoked’ chicken flappers I have ever had — hands down. On top of that the staff has been super attentive, the TVs have always been on the good sport channels (unlike some bars where the staff pays no attention and I watch an infomercial as I eat my lunch) and the server and manager make sure I was enjoying my meal without being too ‘in my business’
The place has been packed every time I come in and it’s okay because they seem to have enough servers on hand to handle it.
I recommend this place if you are in east Mesa and looking for a place to cure your wing craving. My new regular spot. Thx HUB

My boyfriend and I came here the other day for my birthday dinner. We just moved to Mesa from Southern California, and have been searching high and low for a great wing place. This is that place.
Wings are my absolute favorite food. I could eat them all day, every day. I’m a traditional buffalo wing kind of girl, I want them crispy and spicy, and drowned in ranch dressing, and they gave me just that.
Coleman was our waiter, and not only was he extremely friendly, personable, and helpful, he was super attentive as well. With it being my birthday, we went all out with drinks, apps, and food.
We ordered drinks, and were asked if it was our first time there, and we said yes. I ordered a margarita, there’s plenty to choose from. A few minutes later, the manager, Steven, came out with a plate of cornbread for us, on him for it being our first time. It was absolutely delicious!
We started with the exploding potato skins. Holy amazing. They’re basically potato nachos. Thin sliced potatoes, lots of cheese, and the thickest, most delicious bacon I’ve ever had on a restaurant appetizer. My boyfriend and I fought over the last bite. Since it was our first time, I wasn’t sure about any of the sauces. I told Coleman what I like, and he helped explain the ones to me he felt picked that category. I ended up ordering the El Jefe, Arizona style, with lots of ranch.
The wings were fantastic. Because I prefer a crispier wing, I’m not sure if I’ll get the Arizona style again, but they were still absolutely delicious, fall off the bone tender, and the sauce was so so good. I contemplated scraping the extra off the bottom with a spoon. Seriously, it’s that good.
Boyfriend got the grilled cheese. I’m pretty sure I saw him melt when he took the first bite. He was in love with it. I’m pretty sure if it came down to me or that grilled cheese, I would have gone home alone. Seriously, it was that good.
All in all, this place is seriously awesome, and I already can’t wait to go back. And the service was just as good as the food. Thanks for the awesome birthday dinner guys.

I love this place. First it’s right around the corner from my house which makes it so very convenient, but the food is amazing! I’ve never had a bad meal. They have an amazing selection of craft beers on tap & available. And son adores the treasure box — bonus not having to be the angry mom making him finish his meal… he wants to finish to earn his prize.
Tonight was an extra special experience while making his rounds, the manager, Robert, stopped and asked how everything was — then noticed my son only had a basket of fries in front of him (my son had finished his mini corn dogs already) & my vocal son told him he love the corn dogs but they were all gone and he wanted more. I asked if we could order just another order of corn dogs (minus fries) and he responded with «I don’t know, but I’ll figure it out and I will take care of it.» Not only did he take care of it — but he didn’t charge us! This is an awesome example of how the staff at the Hub go above & beyond to make sure that the customers’ experience is exemplary.
I can’t say enough great things about this place!

Just as everyone has said. Great place for kids and adults. If you order wings you MUST get the smoked ones. They are great! Wait staff was very attentive and we were seated quickly even though we had 19 people in our party.

Food was average, we went because Unilocal gave it 5 stars, NOT ! Wings were tasty but expensive and super small. We got the appetizer called the sink, recommended, add chicken, small chunks like salad bar chicken. Atmosphere loud, service good. Not coming back, not worth the drive when so many places better for wings

We go regularly to the Hub, never disappointed, just check out the number of customer vehicles parked outside! Friendly servers. Original home cooked dishes. Trivia certain nights, good fun!

More of a run down sports bar than anything. Lots of bikers, interestingly tattooed individuals and thugs. Not somewhere to watch the game with the boys or take a date as advertised. Something out of the show bar rescue, really.
Some staff going the extra mile, some couldn’t care less. Two of us were sat at a high top relatively quickly but waiting too long to be addressed by staff. Browsed the menu and wasn’t stellar by any means. Made eye contact with a couple waitresses and still no coasters, so we left. Bottom line is a bad first impression and I won’t be trying again.

I’ve been here twice, the first time was a while ago on a Saturday night. Service was TERRIBLE. When I ordered my second drink I never got it, 20 mins later we had to flag down the waitress to get our bills and that second drink was not even ready.
The second time I went here was happy hour on a weekday with my work friends. We got food, I had the fried mashed potatoes and they were great. Service was better and the drinks alright. Okay place to drink locally.

Came here while in town to visit family & the food is AMAZING! We had the Spicy IPA’d Shrimp to start & it was so good! Then, my husband had the Baja Chicken tacos that were good, as well. I had the Hub Mac & Cheese and it was TO DIE FOR! Ambiance & Service were fair, but the food is worth it!

Not only were our burgers amazing but the potato skins? Two full potatoes cut in half! And the manager heard it was our first time in, so he came over to thank us for choosing their restaurant for lunch and had us try their signature cornbread on the house. That was one of the nicest things I have ever experienced from a restaurant manager or establishment. Absolutely, definitely, positively coming back! Ignore any low ratings… someone always has to find something to b**** about.

So it’s a bar… Hahaha, if it has cold beer I’m usually content with that. This place is actually very nice. Its large and Saturday night they had a dj… The dj seemed kinda confused though maybe they got him from craigslist, he would go from 2 country songs, then 2 80’s song, throw in some chambawamba then hit it with some usher… Hahhahahaha. He was decent though, at least it wasn’t techno. So I’ve eaten here several times and the food is actually really delicious. I love the burgers, however I always find myself thinking this place is a tad over priced. The service is consistently snail speed. The waitress wouldn’t stop asking if we needed needs then when we would order them We would have to wait a long period of time to receive them. We were told she was only 20 though so it just might come with time. The one unforgiven for me is the nasty smell of old beer. It smells like there is beer under some mat that’s were never mopped up. After you get used to the smell it’s fine haha! Overall decent stinky bar, with good food and a confused dj… Sounds like a Saturday night I’ll be skipping in the future. I have 3 stars because their food was good and their beer is cold…

Very good food my wife and I stayed very full and happy we will for sure come back to this place. Maybe come back with some friends for karaōke night. lol or Saturday for the DJ very good place to come and eat.

This place is legit. Their smoked wings are delicious and taste cooked to order. Super friendly staff. I was waiting about 10 mins for my food and had 3 different staff people asked if Ive been helped. This place is on the way home and is a perfect spot to have a few drinks in this friendly neighborhood.

It was our first visit, and my first impression was: huge place, lots of smoking on the patio, pretty bar-​ish, maybe we should’ve left the kids with a sitter. Turns out it was similar to Native or Uncle Bears… a kid friendly bar with food if that’s such a thing. The smoked wings were pretty good, and I had a flank steak salad that was awesome with lots of interesting ingredients (whole roasted garlic cloves!) And a «big money» margarita that was quite delightful. I think we’ll return… kiddos got a toy on the way out because they were well behaved and ate their food — wonder where they’ll want to go next time they get to pick? !? :)

Maybe I’m too new to Arizona and should expect mediocre. Maybe I work too quickly and the majority of customers are on laid back time. If this is the contingency of restaurant etiquette, then cool. If not, read on.
I am the type of person who pays for experience. I’m a great cook and I have a Costco card, so if I wanted unlimited booze and a meal, I have a house for that. I am on a business trip and I have never before walked out of a place refusing to tip. (I mean, that’s what business travel expenses are for, right?) The gentleman next to me offered to pay my tip because I said I wouldn’t.
I sat at the bar because I was alone. I had a couple of guys next to me out for a drink as well. One man sat down 5 minutes after I did and immediately received a coaster. I still waited for acknowledgement. If you want to fire me up real quick, go ahead and have someone POINT OUT TO ME the lack of acknowledgement. Homeboy did JUST that. He asked if I was drinking or ordered anything. I told him Nope! Sat down before him. Because I finally was graced with someone’s presence, I quickly made sure I got a menu and my drink order. I ordered the $ 5 special.
Drank my drink. Now time to order. Since it seems like people are assigned to work the bar and it all goes to a kitty, I guess all service must stay subpar. I watched each bartender gracefully ignore eye contact with everyone because they are just «so focused» on their tasks. (I’m looking at you, Kayla, as an apparent regular tried to say hi) I got my meal. I was not checked up pm the entire time. In fact, didn’t even speak to the same bartender twice.
Now here I sit with a plate and glass full of ice. A bartender came and grabbed my plate. She circled back about 2 minutes later and asked if I wanted a drink, while in half sprint to the other end of the bar. I’m not asking her to stop, but again, asking for acknowledgement for my business. Since I was so uncomfortable just sitting there, I decided on a to go order. Now, because I complained about the wait time on my to go order, I can share the information. I walked out of the bar at 7:53. The order for a slice of cake was at 7:38. This bartender felt the need to correct my assumption that it was a 25 minute wait and that it’s standard to wait as long as I did for dessert. This is new to me.
Food was above average. I actually combed the menu making plans for another meal there until I was just punched hard with the lack of service. The thing I find so compelling is how every review on this place that complains about service is written by a female. If that’s the case, I am so sorry. I will make sure I come with a man next time to be an equal. I found it so delightful to be corrected by the bartender who showed up at the end of my experience, to then tell me I’m wrong.
I’m all out of facks (you know what I mean). I drank my empathy for the bartenders on staff tonight when I had to chew on ice for something to wash it down.

I would have given this place 5 stars for these reasons:
1. Service with our first server was awesome! He checked on us every 5 minutes, making sure we had a drink and if everything was up to par for us.
2. The food is delicious and decently priced.
Our waiter’s shift was up, but my party stayed anyway, which meant we had a new server. Her name was Veronica. Veronica is the reason i’m rating at 3 stars.
We wanted to order more food and a few drinks. We waited. And we waited. Aaaaand we waited. 45 minutes later, she checks on us, we order some water since we were limited on time. So we waited. And we waited some more. Another 15 minutes, comes by with the drinks for the table NEXT to us, says «i’ll get that water for you.» We got up and left. Thanks, but no thanks Veronica.

As good as the other reviews make it out to be…
Reasinable beer prices, and pretty darn good grub for a bar!
The smoked wings are just too farn good… should have ordered a full lb… a bit pricy, but damn were they good!
The hub club filled me up and then some… only complaint was it was dry on 1 side and dripping juice on the other… well worth the price.
Next time im n town ill surely repeat!

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The burger was excellent as was the coleslaw. They also offered a spicy cornbread appetizer since it was our first visit. If they were closer, we would come here more often.
Definitely worth a visit!

After a long Friday, my buddies and I stopped by here for some dinner and drinks. It’s quite a busy and loud sports bar with live karaōke, a dance floor, and a live DJ with a versatile music selection. With the right company you will definitely have an enjoyable night here chatting, singing, and dancing.
Our servers lost our orders, but made up for it with a free appetizer of cheesy mashed potato balls served with chipotle cheese sauce, which was absolutely melt-​in-​your-​mouth delicious and savory. I ended up ordering their Peanut Butter Burger, which came with bacon. At first bite, I couldn’t taste the peanut butter, but soon afterwards, I felt the heaviness of the peanut butter, which definitely hit the spot and meshed well with the burger overall. One of the more interesting and unique burgers I’ve had, both savory and sweet at the same time.
For drinks, I ordered their Adult Root Beer Float, which consisted of Fireball mixed with Root Beer and 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream. Couldn’t go wrong with that choice at all, I was satisfied and full after that and my meal. My friend had their Arizona Mule, which tasted very similar to a Moscow Mule. It’s a fun interactive place to be at, and I would definitely come back.
