CK’s Tavern & Grill

Try their Guinness Mussels
We’ve been regulars here now for years, love the place and the people, and just had them for the first time. .. Really nice! No dead mussels, tasty broth, and four longboards of baguette to soak it all up in. Give’em a shot

This is my favorite place to have a burger in Ahwatukee, I was very disappointed the other night that I went there. I ordered my burger well done and it was served medium to raw. I told the waitress and she asked me if I wanted to make another order, um no… I want my original order the way I ordered it. I wish I could post a picture of it on here, a photo speaks volumes.

We stopped in after the Cards game for a late dinner and drinks. The band was awesome but the food was far from good. Nachos were bland and boring. The Philly cheesesteak was decent but small. The food quality was below that of a Denny’s type of place.

Expected more from a place that claims business of the year. My wings were over cooked and the bartender seemed like I was bothering him. Love the patio for a beer and a game though.

CKs is an excellent neighborhood bar and grill. Whether you want to watch the big game with some friends or just want to have a few drinks and some tasty, fresh food, CK’s is the place to go. My favorite thing to eat here is the Bleu Burger with hatch green chili added. Pair that with some buffalo fries and a cold beer for a perfect meal. Go to CK’s next time you have a hankering for a great time with some great food.

The staff was friendly, courtsey, helpful, the service was great the food was great hot I would recommend them for food this was my first time here I’ll be going back for lunch again in the near future

CK’s is the best bar in Ahwatukee. We decided to head over there for lunch, and as usual they didn’t disappoint. We had the hatch Chile burger, a regular burger and a dozen wings (50¢ ea on Tuesday). All of it was awesome, the hot flavor wings were perfect, no shortage of classic hot sauce here. Also, they use pretty good quality chicken, no obvious fat on them and fried crisp without breading. Even the carrot and celery were good, I didn’t actually realize there was variable quality on the veggies, but there is; they’re better here. The two burgers were awesome, getting rave reviews around the table. The seasoned fries are really more like thick chips, and they were good too.
Basically, everything was good. They also have a good sized selection of beer on tap, so maybe we will head over in the evening and try something new on that front too.

Before my boyfriend and I moved, we used to come here during late nights for wings. I absolutely love their raspberry chipotle wings! So delicious. I would always order those with a Stella on tap. This is a great place to kick back and the food is always good. One time we came in and didn’t get acknowledged for 15 minutes so we left, but generally the service is good too. I highly recommend for wings!

I really want to like CK’s … And normally I do. I love the grilled wings and many items on their menu. The service is great however the lighting is low and dingy, plus the bathrooms are kinda gross. I came here for the Cardinals game figuring I’d support the local bar. I was disappointed that the sound was constantly switched back and forth between the Packers and the Cardinals game. At times they even had both game sounds overlapping each other. You’d figure the sound would be kept on the home team. I won’t be coming here again during football season. The new Philly’s on Warner has an amazing tv set up and always keeps the sound on the Cardinals game.

We used to love CK’s and visited frequently. The old happy hour was awesome-​both food and drinks for a great price. The kids also loved their kids meals (around $ 4).
A few months back (after their «remodel») the prices changed and so did the Happy Hour specials. The service also seems to be lacking now as well. Last time we were there we had a party of 10 and they couldn’t get out orders right. Some of the party was finished eating before the other food was brought out.
Parking is always hard, so just park further out in the parking lot and walk. Or better yet, take Über.
We loved going to see Chuck E Baby there. I know he still performs there, but I’m not sure it’s worth going back.

If Tukees think this is the business of the year, I am concerned we don’t have high enough standards.
Food is good, yes. Décor and cleanliness is lacking — big time! Grease coats the framed jerseys and posters, and woodwork hasn’t been maintained since it was built. The place is dirty!
The place is tired and needs a remodel. The bathrooms are from the 80s (and can’t even lock the doors or sit on the commodes due to no seat covers available), the OHIO theme is ugly, and the dining area makes me feel like I never left the disco era.
Come on CKs — make us proud in The Tuke, so that we could consider bring guests here without embarrassing ourselves.
Fellow Tukees there are so many places in The Tuke we can go and get great food AND feel good about being there. CK’s doesn’t meet the standards of the specialness of Ahwatukee.

Nice happy hour specials — good wings, and the all you can eat fish fry was very good.

Food was amazing, healthy and fresh. Brittany was just icing on the cake with her great customer service. Price was very reasonable too. We will definitely go back to this neighborhood bar

I grew up in Awhatukee and in 2014, found myself living in the area once again. CKs was popular when I was growing up and has not seemed to loose steam since.
CK’s is one of the few establishments that has really stood the test of time, especially taking into account the establishments around it have come and gone many times over.
Parking, overall is decent. During football season, it could be tough to get a spot.
CK’s is a traditional sports bar. TVs placed strategically throughout. You have several choices of seating; bar tops, high tops, bar seating, booth seating, and patio seating.
Patio is quite large (I would love to know if they are dog friendly) and they blast misters in the summer time. Patio faces south, so the sun hits it pretty hard at certain times of the day.
Their food is nothing special. You can tell most choices are of the fried variety. They have a few Mexican inspired dishes… not great.
Beer is at about a $ 3.50 average price point and they have specials each day of the week.
They do have live music that I have caught from time-​to-​time. Think 40 – 50 year olds playing Bön Jovi covers. Sometimes its fun, sometimes its annoying. But thats me.
Overall, CK’s is a solid 3. Been to better, been to worse. However, the local following should tell you something about their business overall.

All around some of the best bar food in Phoenix. The wings have gotten a bit smaller over the years but they have a great taste. I recommended the grilled hot wings.

Ok I have now moved up CK’s to the 5 star elite group. I keep coming back for wings, salads, burgers and their sweet daily specials. My honey likes them too. So I recommend this to everyone that wants to have a good time. Music is good too and so much more…

Pretty good place. The live music quality is pretty poor. However, the wings are delicious. Specifically the raspberry chipotle wings! Downside: No Moscow Mules.

I wish I had come to Unilocal before going here. The service was the worst I’ve had in at least 10 years. The bartender was too busy talking to either her co-​workers or some guy she knew to be bothered with basic things like asking me and the guy sitting next to her if we needed anything else, if we needed to pay or if we wanted anything.
I ordered the sliders (which only came with cheese and meat by the way) and had the person that brought it out pretty much drop it in front of me and walk away. At 99% of establishments they ask «do you need anything else?» but I guess service isn’t a priority here. Usually ketchup and mustard are at least brought out, but not here. I had to ask for everything from napkins to a menu.
The bartender was either story telling or just talking because all I could see is me waving trying to get her attention for about 5 minutes and all I heard was her dropping f-​bombs when talking to this guy who I assume was a regular.
I left a little note on basic customer service but I’m sure it’ll go ignored. My first impression of this place is really as low as it gets. Bad service, average food and a wasted night.
I truly believe in supporting local business but this was dreadful. I would advise anyone to avoid this place at all costs. Very, very unimpressed with everything about it.
You’ve been warned.

We are in town for spring break and someone recommend this place to us. Service was slow at first but was rolling after that! Salad was Super delicious, we had a vinaigrette dressing, the penne and meatballs were excellent! And we had some wings which were good as well. Gotta try the cheesecake for dessert, so good. We will be coming back! They have great specials all week long.

Did not have such a great experience tonight at CK’s. Not sure what was going on. We have been here quite a few times in the past few months and I have come to the realization that CK’s is just okay most of the time. They do a few things really well and most others not so much. I really like the original burger sliders and the pulled pork sliders. I also enjoy the boneless hot wings. Other than that, my experience has not been very good.
Service is pretty good most of the time. Tonight it took at least ten minutes after being seated to be greeted. Our waitress did apologize and she look stressed so I felt for her. We ordered the pepperjack cheese dip with tortilla chips. It was not good. It was pretty much velveeta heated up in a cup and the chips were extremely stale, tasted like they had been sitting around for at least a month in an opened bag. I ordered the french dip sandwich for my entrée (see attached pic). It looked pretty good. Looks can be deceiving. It was bad. The beef tasted off. Like beef that had been sitting around too long. Very unappetizing. After two bites I was done. All of the food in general looked old and not at all fresh tonight. A huge turn off. If our dinner was this bad, how bad was the food in kitchen? Just an all around bad experience tonight.
I still gave two stars because I think that this place still has potential. I am asking that if the manager or owner read this, please take note of this experience tonight. Take a look in the kitchen and make some improvements.
