"Despite the aggressive name (and the fact that Warlord doesn’t take reservations), this New American spot in Avondale is very welcoming. Chefs will playfully present a Miller High Life like it’s a vintage cabernet, and tell you to stay at your candlelit table for as long as you want—and since they're open until 2am, that can be a pretty long time. The food is why you’ll want to stay forever. The menu changes everyday, which is both exciting—"this ramp pasta is incredible"—and bittersweet—"will I ever see these miso butter scallops again?" It’s playing hard to get, and makes us want this spot even more. But at least there is one constant on the menu, an incredible burger that is guaranteed to pair well with the High Life." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
