"I wanted to try Lower Bank Tavern again before writing the yelp review. Although our experience with the Lower Bank Tavern goes way back, we just hadn't been there in a while. The first time we went back was on a Sunday to see the Lower Bank Kustoms, which is a local Rockabilly band. We sat outside and watched the band, getting beers from the outside bartender. The beer selection is fine, but consists of mostly domestics with a few popular imports, think Heineken, but unfortunately not much craft beer. The bartender asked us if we wanted food and gave us two menus. The bartender was really good and kept on top of our drinks and meal. As we were looking at the menu, we had a few of the locals tell us what was good. They were super nice and helpful. I had heard of their burgers being good, so I mentioned to my wife to get one. I'm a pescatarian, so I usually stick to fish or vegetarian options, so I got the smothered veggie burger. My wife got the horseradish cheddar bacon burger, which she enjoyed. My veggie burger was great. Loved the sauteed onions and mushrooms. The fries are also very good. For an app, we ordered the fried olives, which were awesome. For our second trip we went for lunch and ate inside. As mentioned in some other reviews the place is very rustic. Our bartender was great. She made my step daughter a margarita which she really liked. She also kept on top of our drinks and food. I once again got the fried olives and smothered veggie burger because they were so good the first time. My wife again enjoyed her burger, this time getting the mexican burger. My step daughter got the roast beef sandwich which she really enjoyed. The atmosphere is great, lots of friendly locals which we ended up having some great conversations with. Next time I'll try something different or maybe not."

"Google reviewers gave it a 4.6. I wanted sushi, and it was on my way. Eastern Phoenix is located right on the White Horse Pike, a click West of EHC downtown, but it is a little tricky to find from the east going west because of the lack of lighting. The parking lot was empty, and the lights were dim. So I scratched my head, thinking, Houston, we have a problem! And to make things worse, a sign on the door said, Kitchen Help Wanted. Usually, it means time to run. But, my hunger got the best of me, and they were open, so I entered and received a not-so-friendly greeting from the young women behind the counter. There are a few tables, booths, and a small sushi bar with four seats. The restaurant is clean but a little crowded with supplies. I opted for a booth that was already set up. It was quiet. Once I got comfortable, it took a few minutes to get a menu and drink request and she warmed up a bit. But, I did notice hearing new orders popping through the system, so they were a little busy with to-go orders. The menu is decent, with Japanese, Chinese, and other Asian options. I ordered a Maki combo that included three assorted rolls and came with Miso soup and garden salad with ginger dressing. The Miso soup was delicious and a nice-sized bowl, so I ordered a pint to go. The salad was just an Iceberg, as expected, with ginger dressing. The three Maki rolls were excellent in size, and each had its distinguished taste and came with an adequate amount of ginger and wasabi. I also ordered a Philly and California roll, which were perfect portions. Overall, my experience was surprisingly good after breaking through the barriers. Pricing, portions, and presentation were above expectations. I loved my experience and will try again when in the area."
