The unadventureous nature of far too many Americans in concern to dining never ceases to amaze me.

Another place that was good was Brother Johns Beer, barbecue and Bourbon. (Located in the old Cat House). Good barbecue and great selection of beer.

I know this post was from '08 but I ate at Zinburger east river road location in March. Was good, not great. A little on the pricy side.

I had the exact same opinion about the Grant/Wilmot location. I'd go back, but they don't really stand out. Main reason we went is because they have a dog friendly patio and we had a friendly dog with us.

Zinburger is a chain, there's one here in Gilbert where I live.
I echo the same sentiment. Expensive. Food is good, but not mindblowing, especially for the money. I don't really care for the Gilbert location, the ambiance is very sterile. Since the building is built to be opened up when the weather is nice, you sort of feel like you're eating dinner in someone's garage.

How is the chow at the EGC in Phoenix? Is it the same quality as down in Tucson?

When I saw Zinburger, I kind of did 
to myself, as I've seen it in Gilbert and I possibly elsewhere.
I did scan this thread and don't think I saw it mentioned, but I ate at Feast once while in Tucson for work, and would highly recommend it. It was a few years ago, so things could have changed.

They even have one of the gogo dancer cages on the outdoor patio as a nod to all of us oldschoolers that remember that building's roots.

Thanks to these suggestions my sister and I just sat down at Cafe Poca Cosa. Put in an order for a Con Fuego Margarita.
Just arrived- quite spicy indeed.
The Sonoran dogs might be a decent snack later
