Toby Keiths I Love This Bar & Grill

Husband and I went today for the first time, we sat on high tops and were approached by our server promptly on a Sat. Dinner hours… Our food were awesome, i had the turkey wraps which were very satisfying while my husband had the bacon burgers… I also love the fries. We moved to the bar after dinner so we could watch the fight which started 15 minutes after our dinner, since we got there early we didn’t have to pay the cover charge for the fight which was awesome! We love the ambience and would comeback again, servers are very attentive specially at the bar

I’m sure my kind of experience wasn’t rare and most definitely contributed to the very sudden closing of Toby Keith’s! What a shame too, they had the best fried okra and chicken fried chicken around!

Was not what I was going for. I really think that the restaurant needs to be reviewed and revamped. Ask people what they want on the menu and don’t want. Please change the chicken tenders to actual chicken with some breaking instead of breaking with some chicken. Please use seasoning when cooking your burgers. Very bland and so not worth the money. I seriously doubt we’ll be back.

I really wanted this bar to be fun. I really wanted it to prove all the other reviews wrong. Unfortunately, it’s just as bad as others have said it is.
My friend’s after-​wedding-​party was held here. The friend I had traveled with and I made our way over and were shocked by the line to get in. We figured the line was simply to check ID, however, it was also to check our purses and get wristbands. Also, it’s a $ 5 cover charge for men! 1) why is there a cover charge for a place this size? 2) why did security say they check bags for bottles of Jameson?
We got our wristbands and headed inside. This place is massive. In the center is the bar which is shaped like a guitar. To the right is more of a dining area. To the left is a huge stage with live performers, a dance area, and a couple of private areas for parties. We found our friend’s party in one of the private areas and headed in. It was nice since it gave full view of the stage but country isn’t really my thing so I just bopped my head along to the beat and watched in amazement as couples took over the dancefloor. We were told to go to the bar to get our drinks and tell them which tab it was under. My friend and I found an open spot at the bar and were told they don’t «take drink orders there and to move to the middle». Um… Okay. So we did that, the bartender got my beer wrong, then said, «we don’t keep tabs at the bar» but he was «nice enough» to tell our server. Fine. Later on, we saw our server coming to the party area to take drink orders.
Overall, this place could be a million times better if they lightened up on security just a bit, got rid of the cover charge for men, and got better bartenders. The servers were all very nice and like I said, the space is massive. It has potential.

So I was taking my grandmother out for dinner and let her pick where she wanted to go and to my surprise, she picked Toby Keith’s. We had a GREAT time!!!
The I should have been a cowboy burger was awesome. The onion rings on it were nice and fat, and there was just the right amount of BBQ sauce on it. The fries were nice and crispy and not all soggy.
My grandmother had the pulled pork loader, which was a baked potato loaded with cheese, and pulled pork. All I know about it was that my grandma said that she couldn’t have been happier with it. I would have liked a bite, but it was gone before I could even ask.
Our server, Rose, did a FANTASTIC job last night!!! She was on top of everything and very friendly. She deserves a lot of the credit for us having such a good experience.
I have been here several times and never had a bad time. I have seen shows there like Shooter Jennings and it is a great place to check out shows too. There is just enough room to dance and have a good time during the shows.
Over all, «I Love This Bar»!!!

I have to say I had high hopes for this place but was not impressed with my overall experience.
We went on a Friday after work around 5pm. The place was empty, however, it still took almost 15 min to get drinks. This was an issue for most of the night. The good news they had $ 2 drafts till 7.
We ordered appetizers to share and had Beef Nachos and the sampler platter. The nachos were very good and came with plenty of meat. The sampler platter was ok. I was really excited for the fried mac and cheese but it’s bland and tastes like nothing.
Once it got later there was a live band and dancing which was fun.
We still had fun so I will probably give it a second chance to see if the service is better on another day.

A group of friends and I went into this bar on a Friday night. I’ve had friends who had okay experiences, and I personally have been in there once before and it wasn’t terrible, so it had potential, I guess. I got my first drink from the bar and chatted with my friends, went to the restroom, got a new drink and went to the patio, where I was immediately accosted by two large bouncers (I’m a pretty small girl) who told me I was stumbling, belligerent, slurring, and disruptive, and I had to leave. Despite all my efforts to have a rational conversation with them about what I could have possibly done wrong (since I’d been on the patio for about six seconds before they asked me to leave), they were rude and, frankly, pretty mean.
This bar is not busy enough to be throwing out all of their bar patrons, to be honest. We went over to Cactus Moon, who not only treated us much better but also said this happens at Toby’s pretty often. Drink at your own risk, I suppose. The risk being that you might buy an overpriced drink and be forced to leave most of it behind. that’s one (super shady) way to make money in a struggling bar! :)

Sorry, Toby, I can’t say I love this bar & grill. Today was my first experience at this much-​hyped establishment. Hubby & I stopped by for lunch with a gift card in hand. The place was a ghost town. I have to say, though, that I was impressed by the neat guitar-​shaped bar.
I liked that they have an offer on here when you check in for 50% off an appetizer (excludes Toby’s Platter). We got the nachos with chicken. There was a fair amount of guacamole, sour cream, & chicken on them. The nachos were definitely lacking in the cheese and bean department, though. The salsa that accompanied the nachos was decent. The chicken was kind of dry. Ick.
I also liked that weekdays they have happy hour from 11 am to 7 pm. Hubby got a couple $ 2 drafts, and I had two watered down house margaritas on the rocks for $ 4 a pop. Frozen margaritas are advertised as the happy hour special, which was what I wanted, but our waitress said the machine used to make those wasn’t working. How unimpressive.
They also have select appetizers for $ 5 during happy hour. We wanted to try the fried Mac & cheese. I had high hopes. Not sure why. These did not meet my expectations. All I tasted was «fried». Had I not bit into one & checked out the guts, I never would have known there was Mac & cheese inside.
I ordered the southwest chicken salad as my entrée. I was disappointed in it. For just under $ 12, the size of the salad itself was pathetic, never mind the lack of beans, corn, peppers, and tomatoes. Is there a black bean shortage here?! The salad was also supposed to have candied pecans. There were zero on the salad I was served. I didn’t complain… I saved a few calories this way (way to rationalize, right?), plus our waitress was not the most attentive. My husband got the turkey melt. He said it was fine, although he did leave some overly-​crusty crusts behind.
Of course, I had to finish my Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill experience with some fried twinkies! Couldn’t wait to try these things! The twinkies turned out to be my favorite part of this restaurant. Granted I was just about in a food coma at this point and my arteries were screaming for me not to do it!
Not exactly in a rush to get back here. If I ever return, I’d like to come at night, maybe for a show, to get a different perspective of the joint. But after reading some of the other reviews, I’m fearing I’ll still have complaints, but just of a different variety.

Horrible experience it took forever for me to even get served then the female bartender never came back for over half an hour
I was gonna stay and check it out but after that I decided to leave and after waiting longer for her to notice my empty glass I decided to go to the end of the bar myself and pay and she comes up gets other peoples drinks in front of me and leaves and doesn’t stop to think hmmm I wonder y that customer got up from her seat and came down to the cashiers end of the bar??? Hmmmm!!! I really wonder
So I am forced to complain to the other customer standing next to me looking for her waitress and ultimately complained to the only server bar person I could find then she says to the bartender «can u take care of her?»
Wow ??? ain’t never going back and NO, I DONT love this bar!

My friends and I go here on weekends sometimes and I really enjoy this place. Let me start off by saying I haven’t eaten here so I’m not judging on food or anything like that. I’ve always gone so late in the night that I show up for the live music and dancing with cute cowboys and cowboy wannabes.
I’ve had a few drinks there and I’ve never seen the bill outrageous or anything and they’ve never been gross when I’ve had them. I don’t know if they have nights that aren’t live music as it’s my friend who always picks the nights we go there and I’ve only been there with live music of bands she enjoys and we’ve always had a blast.
I’ve been told there is mechanical bull riding which I haven’t been there any of those nights either. But I’m not really a country music kind of girl and even so I’ve enjoyed the bands that played there.
I’ve personally never had an issue finding parking either and I’ve never been mistreated by staff. I over all have a good time when I’m here.

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and the place was a ghost town.
We were just there for drink sand ordered vodka sodas with lime. The bartender was nice but went MIA often. The club soda tasted very strange, almost sweet. Our drinks were served in red plastic cups while the couple next to us got glass… not sure what that was all about.
The particular day I was there it was FREEZING inside while it was in the 90’s outside. The barely clothed bartender told us she is NOT ALLOWED to wear a jacket over her uniform.
This repulsed me as I see who I assume was the manager (a big, buff, tattooed guy) strutting around the restaurant.
Places that put sexuality before employee comfort disgust me.

This is not just any typical bar and grill. Live Music, dance floor, good food, friendly customer service, clean restaurant… This is the place to go. Owned by future Country Music Hall of Fame himself Toby Keith, he allows other genres of music to perform here besides country. The bar is really big and there shouldn’t be any bad reviews about it’s space… THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF ROOM!
Every meal I have ordered here so far came out of the kitchen with an appetizing presentation and well cooked. Can’t complain at all about this place.
This place is highly Military Friendly.
You will see me as a regular here at Toby Keiths I Love This Bar & Grill

I’m hoping my experience was poor because we went in the evening (close to bar party time for them) and not an everyday occurrence.
The food was sub part at best. I ordered a turkey wrap and it was soggy like it was premade and sitting there. The macaroni I got on the side was obviously siting under a heat lamp. When I go to a restaurant like this I expect made to order food, not the pretense of a left over.
The service was ok but when I asked of they had bread or chips and salsa to bring out before the appetizer she looked at me like I was an idiot and said «well…I mean I can bring you small crackers.» I don’t need to be treated like an idiot for asking for something a lot restaurants have as a customary courtesy.
Won’t be returning. No buenos in my book.

Service isn’t great.
Beer is good and cold.
Food is terrible, and my stomach has been turning flips since I dined here for lunch today.
We will not be retuning to Toby Keith’s!

After living in Hawaii and being a huge country fan all you hear are is how AMAZING Toby Keith’s is. I ended up researching live music in Arizona and I found out that there was a David Nail concert in Mesa. So we ended up going to Toby Keith’s.
Now let me tell you, this place is not easy to find. I ended up having to ask for directions from a shop worker at Shepler’s. When we finally found the bar we ended up trying to go in and because we did not print out our ticket and had mobile tickets we were sent to the other door. Finally we got in and I tried to order a drink. You’d think that with so many bartenders that you wouldn’t have to wait for a drink. Actually ended up waiting for 5 minutes for a bartender to notice me then I literally had to flag a bartender down. What ended up irking me is that they didn’t have a menu of drinks and didn’t have any drink specials that night. I ended up letting the bartender make me some sweet tea cocktail. I wasn’t really happy with this bar.
The concert it’s self was pretty good. The sound technicians were good and the opening act was AMAZING. Im kind of in love with Brother’s Osborne now. There was tons of merch to buy from the gift store and the band vendors. I’m not sure if I would actually eat here though.
The layout of the bar was really cool. Too bad the service sucked here. I would have definitely spent more money at this bar if I hadn’t be ignored.

I have been to Toby Keith’s a couple of times over the years. The first time was a couple of years ago for a local concert that became ridiculously overcrowded and claustrophobic but I will disregard that initial experience and review only this experience today. I met my mom here for a late lunch around 3pm because we were in the area so it was convenient. Our waitress was really nice and attentive and we wanted to take our time and she didn’t have a problem with that.
I ordered a green chili chicken sandwich (with no bun) and a side of coleslaw. My mom had a turkey club sandwich. My chicken was pretty good. It was a little overcooked but it wasn’t bad. Nothing to write home about. My mom’s turkey club was a HUGE serving and she said it was just okay.
Overall for a midday dining experience we had an okay experience. The food was okay, the service was good. Would I be back? Maybe…

We came in around 8:00 for dinner on a weeknight, the place was fairly dead.
I’m pretty sure my baked potato was cooked that morning, it was hard. My salad tasted like dirt.
My boyfriend’s chicken was very thin and in-​turn very dry. He did however love the baked beans which appeared to have pulled pork in it.

Oh no, I have apparently become a regular here! So, I am from the middle of nowhere, where the definition of dressing up to go out entails putting on your cutest plaid shirt, jeans and boots. I think this may be why I kinda like Toby’s; it reminds me of back home. The inside feels like a large barn with a bar in the middle, and a band playing live music on a stage. The staff is nice to look at and generally pretty swift at getting anything you need.
The clientele has become variable. I almost wonder if the band playing almost determines the turnout of the kind of patrons at Toby’s. Some white trash mixed with some true country folk and for some reason lately random hipsters and rockabilly guys and gals end up in here too???
In all honesty, I think I am still swooning from the first time I stepped into Toby’s. I met two of the finest cowboys I have ever met in my life, and they turned me out on the dance floor. It is amazing how important first impressions are. Maybe I just keep going back in hopes of such a grand night out of beer, tequila and cowboys, but it usually ends up rather anticlimactic.

First time there a week ago and I wasn’t very impressed. I’m not a country fan but was willing to give it a try.
The good points: I guess the now serve coors products. Watching drunk people try to bull ride is fun. Live band and dance floor. While the band on the night I went wasn’t the best, I did appreciate that they played more pop style country. The crowd that night was not very country. The age range was also a benefit, you can find young and old alike.
The bad points: horrible to find close parking if you are not there early, line for the lades room comes with a 10 – 15 minute wait, so ladies get in line early if you have to pee real bad ;). Price for draft beer was a little too high. Very little seating.
I might be willing to come back during the day and check out the restaurant. So I can use my ½ price appetizer coupon.

Toby Keith Bar & Grill, where shall I start?
It’s my kind of place, just walking through the front door puts a bit smile on my face.
It ain’t too far, come as you are, I love this bar.
If you know these lyrics, then you will most likely enjoy this bar just as I do. There is good country music playing, large beers served in a mason jar, and did I mentioned the deep fried Twinkies? There is plenty of room, an nice little outdoor patio, decent country crowd, and lots of 2-​steppers getting down on the dance-​floor.
The drawbacks? I would have given a solid five stars if not for the way the rude bouncers started kicking us out when it got close to 2am. I am not used to being treated that way, and I could not believe that is how management has their bouncers treat their customers. That did really leave a bad taste in my mouth, but I still have love for Toby Keiths. I will come back every chance I get!
Tip– Toby’s has pretty good concerts. Check out the website to find any upcoming performances!
