Not worth the money. Ambiance is great but the food is not great I don't recommend personally.

My husband and I just ordered Fish and Chips for takeout from here, on this Good Friday. I ordered from their online website. We ordered 1 order of fish n chips, with one extra piece of fish, and planned on splitting the order. Also ordered one side salad that we planned to split. When prompted to choose a side, I chose no side, knowing that the fish, chips, and salad would suffice. 1) there were NO fries. Isn't that the "chip" part of Fish n chips? 2) NO tartar sauce. are you kidding? 3) the side salad was in a container not big enough to hold a small bowl of soup, and was filled with brown ribs of lettuce, and was over half croutons. When asked why there were no fries, my husband was told "there was no side chosen." The website behaved as if this was a second "side" since fish and chips is a complete order, using my logic. The fish was all batter, hardly any fish. This was absolutely terrible, and we will not order, nor eat there again, especially because of their answers when being asked about the discrepancies. yuck!

So sad to leave this review but we've tried a couple times now and it's just not good. Food was cold again. Just not good. Service was fair. Love the area and really want to like it but just a big no for us.

Came for Tuesday 2 for $22 burgers. The service was GREAT. Food was ok. Glad we got the special. Very cute, family and pet friendly.

So first thing service is great- mostly younger kids serving given the area but they work very hard and I'm sure they deal with a lot of flak due to the kitchen... which leads me to the food.... Almost inedible, there's an obvious lack of organization and management when it comes to the flow of food as well as quality of food. The price point is way off when compared to quality of food. I understand it's under new ownership but in my opinion it has gone further down hill. Sad because it could be an amazing spot to frequent. So the two stars are towards kitchen and management- 5 starts for service!

I forgot today was Tuesday and was ecstatic to see a 2 for $22 Tuesday deal on the menu. I ordered two and get to take one home for tomorrow's lunch. I asked for the burger to be cooked medium, and it turned out phenomenal. I was expecting something much smaller than I got. This burger was substantial. Very satiating, and flavorful. The staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere here is just great. It's nice to be able to sit outside with their string lights and a nice breeze, plus they have free WiFi which is great because the cell service in the area is horrible. Highly recommend coming here

We have not been here in a couple years because we found it had gone downhill. decided to give it another try because it's 2 for $22 burger Tuesday. My husband had the backyard burger, which was his standard order previously. He said it was still very good but the comeback sauce was quite spicy which it wasn't previously. I ordered the Ramsay medium and my fries well done. My burger was well done and my fries were not. It was a tasty burger though. If they're going to ask how you want your food cooked, but then not do it, why bother? Good value though and ready on time.

Dear Handlebar Diner, you have been on my "Places to Eat" list for a while. Finally made it on a Friday evening. A really nice neighborhood spot for families. Great location by Eastmark, folks can walk to your eatery & enjoy the park. Four of us & a toddler arrived for dinner. Frisco Burger w/ onion rings , Barbacoa Birria Quesadilla w/ fries, Half order of Chicken Nachos, Kids Grilled Cheese w/ fries. Problem#1: No beans or cooked chicken for Nachos. What? Problem #2: No barbacoa beef for the Quesadilla. What? Problem #3: Frisco burger - cold. Sourdough toast - soggy. Onion rings - cold & soggy. Side order of fries - cold. Grilled cheese - cheese was barely melted. Nachos - mediocre. No salsa for Quesadilla or Nachos. They ran out. What? We had a bunch of adults sitting next to us who must of been thinking they were at their neighborhood bar instead of a family friendly hamburger joint. We only saw the server when he told us there wasn't any food. No offerings of drink refills... IF I venrure to this establishment, it will be during the week and maybe when they first open to make sure they have food.

Don't waste your time or money...it seemed like everything was made via microwave. Their food was like their hearts...frozen
I always have a great meal at HandleBar. It has a great atmosphere... the staff gets busy but they are always hustling!

Excellent food, huge portions, most items can be made gluten free. It was safe for our celiac kid and we took a LOT of leftovers back to the place where we were staying. Staff was SO NICE (seriously, the people in Arizona are among the nicest I've ever met). Worth it if you are in the area, and a great option if you're planning on driving any portion of the Apache Trail.

good service & super convenient if you live in East Mark to go for a quick bite to eat.

Usually I like to try new things and eat at new places, but this just might be the last time me and my family do that. To start off, it says that you're supposed to sit down and wait for a server. We did that and we waited 5 minutes, no one came. It got to the point that someone at our table had to get up and go get someone. We then ordered our drinks. How can you go wrong with drinks some might say. We got 4 shirley temples and a chocolate shake. The shirley temples tasted like dishsoap with some sprite and hardly any of the red stuff that makes it a shirley temple. The chocolate shake was by far the best thing we had. Now on to the food. We had a burger, a quesadilla, mini chicken tacos, the kids chicken tenders and the kids hot dog. The burger was fine but nothing special along with the hot dog. But when we get to the other food it's not good. The quesadilla made everyone who ate it feel sick to their stomach. The tenders were fine until i got home and didn't want to do anything because my stomach hurt. But the finale straw is the mini chicken tacos. The person who ate it is now currently sitting on the couch doing nothing because they got FOOD POISONING! Never again will I ever eat here and I hope that you read this review before you eat here. NEVER AGAIN.

Zero stars. Fries were old, dry, and flavorless. Burger was very greasy and not tasty at all, no pickles. They do not give you real menus. Very overpriced.
