Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Tempe

Talk about a Great View! Our meal and service was great. Chris did a wonderful job taking care of us. We were there for my Wife's birthday and we are very glad that we did. We ordered the charcuterie board and the bone marrow to start. Both were well worth it. We also ordered the NY Strip and the Portobello Mushrooms, again these were a great option. Chris brought over a little dessert to celebrate my Wife's birthday, what a pleasant surprise that was. What a wonderful time we had. Great meal, great service and a wonderful view of the City. The only downside was a rowdy group that had a couple of loud individuals and even though there is a business casual dress code there were a few people in shorts, hoodies and graphic t shirts. Not really what you expect to see in an establishment like this. All in all, Top of the Rock has been added to our favorite places to dine.

Took my husband on a dinner date after a work conference we were attending. It was very nice. The food was amazing and the view was breathtaking! The lobster was so tender! And the service was very good too! I will definitely come back when in town. Very beautiful place to propose with the sunset. Or just come for a romantic dinner. Totally worth it and recommend it.

I went to Top of the Rock a couple of days ago to celebrate my mother in law’s birthday, and it was such a wonderful evening! The atmosphere was warm and relaxing, with beautiful views that made it feel extra special. The staff was so kind and attentive, and they really helped make the night go smoothly. The food was amazing everything we ordered was delicious and perfectly cooked. My mother in law was so happy, which meant a lot to us. It truly felt like the perfect spot for a special occasion.

We loved EVERYTHING about this restaurant. We are from Chicago and have very high standards for food & service. We were visiting friends & I found this place while doing research on places to eat as I have a gluten allergy. This. Place. Is. Perfect. The ambiance is beautiful, the staff was very friendly & efficient. I booked our reservations for outdoors as the weather was 83°. And would still be nice into the evening. I wanted to book the time frame so we'd have sunshine, then see the sunset & the lights displayed in the evening all around the restaurant. THE VIEWS ARE STUNNING!!! The staff were attentive and helpful with recommendations. Our food was absolutely delicious! I ordered Seabass with mashed potatoes & asparagus. My hubby had roasted chicken. Our friends ordered lamb chops & the charcuterie board. We throughly enjoyed our evening!! I will return every time I come to AZ. If you visit AZ and it's not too far away you MUST book your resey here.

Incredible restaurant with decadent dining and breathtaking views of the city lights. Definitely a splurge but the food is delicious and plated to perfection. P.S. they served us a complimentary focaccia that was quite literally the BEST I have ever had. Stellar service, a total 5 ⭐️ dining experience.

Nice views, and a good option if you’re in the area. Otherwise, head to the patio on Sanctuary for better views and service. Wait staff was great, but it took the hostess 10-15 minutes to check us into an empty restaurant shortly after it opened for the evening. Also, the teak patio furniture needs refinishing and makes the restaurant look dated. If you’re looking to impress someone on a date, recommend Sanctuary or Wrigley Mansion as alternatives. If it’s convenient and you’re in the area, it’s a nice stop.

Overall I think the restaurant was immaculately designed with incredibly high vaulted ceilings and lovely interior. The view is subpar at best as most of it just of a high way. Maybe we came on subpar day, but it was Sunday evening and you’d imagine they’d be better staffed and supplied for the meal. Service - the wait staff seemed a bit stretched thin given the large crowd. The gap in between appetizer and our entrees was more than 30mins and thought the staff would accommodate with something, but I guess that’s not the establishment they were. They were sold out of a few items and certain entrees were running short, but the seafood pasta ordered was directly said that it would come with one less scallop and compensated with extra clams and muscles. Food - we ordered oysters Rockefeller, NY Strip, seafood laced fettuccine, and side order of Mac cheese. The highlight was probably the appetizer and oysters which had a nice briney bite with a lovely crispy top. NY strip - was bone dry and not ordered to hope we wanted it cooked. We asked for medium rare it came out well done at best. The amount of chews per bite were quite a bit. Given how long we waited to get our entrees, we didn’t want to risk returning and waiting longer for the potential of a steak cooked we wanted. Seafood pasta - the seafood was cooked well and shrimp was well done. The one scallop was fine and muscles and clams were lovely. The pasta wasn’t salted and the sauce had no seasoning away from a lemon forward taste. It felt just like butter and lemon with just no seasoning. Mac and Cheese - was just super dry. Had some bacon bits in between that provided some texture, but it felt like just a cream cheese and noodles combined with some bacon.

If you love smoke and slow grilled, you will LOVE this place. I am a vegetarian and the smoke adds to the garden burger taste + the help your self dressings bar puts this over the top! Enjoy the line and wait of slow/fast food. Cash only.

We had a great lunch. Super simple spot with a limited menu that is all good. We tried a few items and I was pleased with everything. The condiments and all add ons are offered up in a salad bar setting letting you build your perfect burger. We live out of town but will definitely be coming back when we pass through the area again.

My nail tech told me abt this place when I told her I was going to Tempe. OMG one of my top 5 burgers in life. The flavor from the wood is AMAZING. Burger isn't salty. It stays busy but the employees are efficient and have it down to a science. Mushrooms were amazing😋🤤 Going bk before I drive bk to Vegas. Make sure you have cash

I'm so glad I found this place. I came into town for a bjj competition and scoped out good food in Tempe area. Given the copious positive reviews, I decided to try it out. The wood fire smell is what immediately grabbed my attention outside and I knew I was in for a delicious meal. The packed interior also confirmed my decision. The menu is simple, straightforward. I ordered a hot and spicy chicken sandwich, double big burger, and fries. The food is cooked to order and very fresh. The chicken was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The burger was also juicy and had that amazing wood fired taste you can't get anywhere else, closest to a backyard bbq burger but way better. There is an assorment of toppings and condiments you can add. The only negative thing I can say is parking in front can be difficult, but you can find a surface lot a short walk away. Don't hesistate on trying The Chuckbox if you're looking for great burgers and sandwiches.

I think I randomly found this place looking for 4.5 stars and up near the airport. Wow, it’s amazing! They yell toward the back of the line to take your order while you queue and then track all of it by memory and tooth picks, zero order tickets, computer kiosks! By the time you get your to the grill you are gifted with a few minutes to watch the grill, magic and take in the sights, sounds, and delicious smells - then it’s all ready to go. BOOM! Everyone was really nice, friendly staff and customers, and overall a total throwback to what I remember from my childhood in the 80’s. I’d give this place 9 stars if I could it was that delicious. Cash only, so come prepared. They have an ATM if you don’t plan ahead. Sofa king good!

We just happen to find the Chuckbox online. It looked 😎 so we went. The place is GREAT, we loved it. It’s FUN! You stand in line to order which was cool. The guys behind us must have been regulars and they helped us order. They just call you in line and ask what you want. Best order system ever! The gent taking the order just yells to the cook beside him. No paper just a good memory. We each had a burger and shared onion rings. You add your own condiments (see picture). Also awesome. I guess I must I must have order a unique burger so they just added extra stuff. Just fine with me. All the staff were really nice and when they found out travelled 3000 kms they said that was great. Parking - the parking is ok and free! I suggest being there between 1:15 and 3:00 PM. It may not be as busy? We were there at 1:15 on a Thursday and the lunch crowd was just clearing out. We did get a parking spot. Also there was a parking attendant. Food - burgers were top notch and the onion rings, I would go for just the onion rings! My better half thought her burger was a bit over cooked. The decor is rustic. I really like this type of place because it feels homey. The place is very clean and unlike some places they actually come around and clean the tables. One of the fun things is you get to see the cook being the master of the grill. There is also some outside seating. All in all we really liked the place. VERY IMPORTANT: CASH ONLY no EXCEPTIONS. ATM on site.

The chuck box is a legend among those that know. The food is top notch and the atmosphere is special very laid back on Sundays. However your first time there on a week day can be overwhelming very fast paced . But still all out friendly and pretty fast. The hamburgers are among the best out there and the add on's are simply the best because every step of the way your guiding your food to be excatlly as you want not pre designed NO!!! THEY OFFER THE MEAT AND BREAD ONLY YOU CHOOSE EVERYTHING ELSE. If you have never been make it a point to try. You won't be disappointed. Ps they have onion rings, fries,mushrooms too.

The food was tasty, and the atmosphere was really friendly. I loved the overall vibe, and they even had some unique, almost utopian items available for purchase. The portion sizes were generous, which made the experience even more satisfying.

Cafe Laibela is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic Ethiopian cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. The restaurant has a cozy, family-style feel with welcoming staff. The food is nothing short of amazing. Each dish is rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented on traditional bread. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Ethiopian food or trying it for the first time, Cafe Laibela delivers an unforgettable experience with both its cuisine and atmosphere.

Been going to this place for years and recently visited again. They serve a delicious cuisine of Ethiopian food. The dishes are flavorful, abundant, and the quality is spectacular. You can get individual dishes or shareable dishes. They serve their dishes with injera which serves as your utensils and what you use to grab your food. It's so delicious 😋. The atmosphere is very relaxed. The restaurant is very cozy and friendly. The service was great and the staff is very attentive and courteous. The dishes were plentiful and extremely affordable. You get a lot of food for the cost. I certainly recommend this place for the dishes, ambience, friendly staff, and bang for your buck!

If you are in the area and love Ethiopian food, look no further! There is a reason Cafe Lailibela has been around for 30 years and has won multiple awards. The Doro Wat, Asa Wat, Tiramisu, and Misir Wat are excellent choices along with Kerem Shai and Jebena. The food here is excellent and won't disappoint you whether you are a local or a weary traveler looking for a hot meal and a cup of Jebena.

I went to this restaurant after my Atana head spa treatment. I saw this restaurant going in and was curious about the food they served. After I searched them up online I realized they had Ethiopian food. I’ve never had it prior so I decided to check out the menu and pick out a couple items. I walked into the restaurant and met with a less than enthusiastic woman. She did not smile and she was not gracious. I ordered the Doro wat and Gomen. I drive home with the food and ate it at home. The Doro wat/stew was not packaged well. It spilled into the bag. I was told the bread or Tef was supposed to be delicious. I thought it was flimsy and sour. The Doro wat did not look appetizing the flavor was ok, a bit bitter. Gomen was basically just collard greens and it was mediocre. The next day my stomach was hurting terribly. After this experience I’ve written off Ethiopian food completely. I will never eat it again.

Wow wow wow, I always wish I live closer to this place, because all of the dishes look amazing! The last time I was here was 8 years ago! There are so many options and I finally decided on the Beef Tibs. It was so flavorful and tender. The onions were not overpowering. I loved that the server gave me an extra side of injera too! Look forward to the next visit already!

I finally had the time to visit this place again. Its been a few years since I first tried their food. This time I was with my child. People who came in after us were waited on first. I order food that wasn't spicy, but all of it was bland. The food was lukewarm and I hope we dont get sick. I didn't feel welcomed. Other than that, the presentation was pretty, the atmosphere was a mixed of what seemed to be college students and business people. A bit noisy but not bad. Im not sure ill go back.

I'm so glad I came here today. I'm a huge pumpkin beer fan, and I just had the best one! I enjoyed the Double Pumpkin Barrel Aged Porter. Had a very deep porter flavor, with slight sweetness of pumpkin and whiskey. I also had the fish and sweet potato fries. They were excellent. My server Delaney was fantastic. Very good attitude and just wonderful service. I'm so glad that I stopped by here.

A fantastic spot to kick back and chill with friends, offering a lively atmosphere and lovely hospitality. The service is top-notch, making you feel right at home. Their pepperoni pizza is an absolute standout—bursting with flavor! With a solid selection of brews, there’s something for every beer lover. Plenty of street parking and indoor seating make it super convenient, and with screens everywhere, it’s a prime spot to catch the game. Highly recommend!

We came here at 7:55pm to learn they have happy hour at 8:00! Great! I had the Bad Birdie ( too sweet for me) and the Wow. We had nachos, crab cakes, and AZ chicken roll. Skip the chicken roll it was boring. The nachos were great and salmon cakes good. Good sauce with crab cakes. We sat outside which was nice. They have fun Halloween decorations. Lots of parking.

Absolutely love this place!!! Been coming here for years now. The drinks AND food are both tremendous (can't say the same about other breweries in the valley). Love the atmosphere and the staff is always so friendly, if you're in the area try this place! (Try a peach beer) 10/10!

Great place to catch a Vikings game, but be ready to wait for service on a busy day. Holy wow! Love the mimosa bucket - can't beat the deal. Food is equally yummy.

We are visiting Phoenix from the UK and thoroughly enjoyed our evening at the restaurant. All the staff were so friendly, especially our waitress who was brilliant. The atmosphere is really good fun and there is a gift shop too. The food arrived really quickly and was of fantastic quality.

Great place to hang out with friends. Would definitely visit again. Waitress was very friendly and the food was tasty.

Sausage Fries: The Fries are delicious. They are not greasy, crispy outside, and soft on the be inside. The sausage is delicious. They are not greasy, juicy, and that flavor...wow. The Fries and sausage are not good together. They flavor is not enhanced when they are combined. Sausage and Peppers: The sausage is delicious. They are not greasy, juicy, and that flavor...wow. The bell pepper slices were soft. The marinara sauce is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I have never had marinara sauce like that. Honestly, I could have a bowl of marinara sauce with garlic bread and would have been happy.

Loved the vibe here. Food was great. Service was awesome, thank you, Juan. Excellent wine list from all regions of Italy. Live music was at the perfect volume to enjoy and still be able to talk/hear your dinner mates. We will be back for sure!

Absolutely love the atmosphere here, the live piano and singing was romantic. I wish the food was better, Seems to me like they bake large amounts of food for dinner instead of cooking each dish to order. The chicken Marsala was bland and no sear one the chicken, the sausage was really good but again it was baked in sauce not seared and then put in a sauce. I do wanna go back to try the pizza cause I loved the atmosphere so much. This maybe someone's favorite just not mine

I thought I would stroll down memory lane and go back to one of my favorite Tempe Spots. Food was great as usual. The Server sat me right next to the only table that had customers, which would have been nice to have had some space so I couldn't hear everything they said. My main reason for 3 stars: the price. I understand tariffs and inflation, but $28 (before tip) for lunch when all I had was an iced tea, philly steak Sandwich, and a small side salad? Sadly this will be my last time there, I can't justify the price. Even if the food is pretty good.

I was really excited to bring a friend to this place, and after reading some reviews, the few bad reviews I read about tasteless food came true. We walked in and immediatley greeted by a very nice hostess. I did call ahead and reserved a table in the piano room. This place definitely gave off a good vibe, with an impressive wine collection that filled all the wall space. Our server was dull. The new proprietor even came by our table and chatted with us about the wine collection. I had the Chicken Saltimbocca, and my friend ordered Chicken Marsala. The Saltimbocca was a major dissapointment, and the sauce tasted like something out of a can. This dish was slapped together like someone in a hurry, to get out of town. It didn't look good, and tasted as bad as the presentation. Definitley not made with love. My friends chicken marsala was tastless! How the hell do you screw up a marsala. She was very dissapointed and didn't come close to finishing the meal. The salad wasn't much to bragg about either. She left the salad and chicken for them to toss. I was embarrassed for this establishment. The people who leave positive reviews about the food here, don't know what the true meaning of using spices, and sauces that bring out the flavor of a true Italian meal. I love leaving honest and mostly positive reviews, but this really saddened me. For such a quaint little place, you'd think a better dining experience, would have been had. I know it is under new ownership, and hope they take this review serious enough to look at how they can make things better. I recently had two dinners at Italian restaraunts in San Diego, and they represtented, what I would expect from Vincintorios. Not the case. Feel free to read my other reviews and you will see what my expereinces were there. The cooks here cut corners, and the end product leaves little to desire. I've had more flavor from corporate chains like Carrabbas!! Vincintorios is definitely the neighborhood watering hole, but that is about it, from my experience.

Oh my gosh. Was so amazing. Love the small town feel with huge portions for the great price. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. It was middle of the day, yet I'm told night time dinner with the piano playing is worth it! Can't wait to go back!

I really enjoyed the restaurant and the food. I ordered a dish I have never had before and it was delicious!! The Fettuccine Aurora. It was a creamy tomato sauce with mushrooms and peas. For a starter we had the caprese salad and it was fabulous! I would go back just for this alone! The ingredients were so fresh and perfectly seasoned.

Definitely a fun place to go out to eat for family celebrations. Cheerful staff. The employees worked together like a well-oiled machine to handle the crowd for a busy night. Everything was fresh & plentiful with lots of leftovers to take home. Make sure you go early to avoid a long wait. Really clean restrooms.

I was driving many times by this restaurant and I often saw people waiting outside. My first thought was that it must be so good. So I gave it a try. I have to say that although I wanted to give it more stars, I debated between 3 and 4, I stick with the 3. The place is pretty big inside and it also has a patio. Due to the heat, we preferred to stay inside. We got complimentary salad to share and bread and olive oil. We ordered Tuscan Grilled Salmon and Chianti Short Ribs. The fish taste was just ok, I am not sure if it was really Atlantic salmon or it was farmed. Luckily the mix that it was on top helped with the taste . The risotto was good on the other hand, although it had some extra oil as seen in the picture. The short ribs were pretty good, however, after the dinner one of us didn't feel the best. I am not sure if it was not fresh or what. We also ordered two drinks - a Sicilian Punch which honestly tasted more like a juice and a The Godfather which was actually really good , with a smoke taste. The service was ok , nothing extraordinary, just basic .

We have never been disappointed with anything ordered from Rigatony’s. Always leave full and content with leftovers for tomorrow. My wife loves the chicken with capers and artichoke hearts and then subs angel hair pasta. I usually get the Tour. Today special was a Manly tour for celebrating Father’s Day week so much great food. Love the salad that comes with any entree. Oh oh oh the 5 layer chocolate cake is delicious. You should just get in the car and go!

This food was amazing, but too much for us. Will come next time. They are music bgm not my type. Lol 😂 anyway should go there try it. Enjoy your day.

4/5 stars. I'm glad we drove an hour for Rigatony! The flavor of the food was absolutely amazing, and the service was great. I ordered the Rigatony Tour, which came with a variety of dishes, including lasagna, fettuccine alfredo, meatballs, and chicken parmesan. Everything was delicious, but unfortunately, my food came out cold. Despite this, I'd definitely go back for another try. Maybe on my next birthday dinner, it'll hit all the right notes!"

I have lived here in AZ for 11 years and have FINALLY found an Italian restaurant that has NYC worthy food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. I'm not sure why it took so long to find this place but I went back again within a couple of days. The calamari, salad, bread, spaghetti, meatballs, fettuccine, shrimp, margaritas, seafood bake, and everything else we had was amazing. If you're from NYC and missing Italian, this is your spot.

I’ve been here quite a few times, so I think it’s time to leave a review. This review is based on my most recent visit. My partner and I ordered Fried Ravioli, Fettuccine Alfredo, and the Eggplant Parmesan. The Complimentary Bread is nice and soft on the inside, though almost a bit hard on the outside. It goes extremely well with their olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The Strawberry Lemonade was quite sweet, but it had me wishing it was more tarty/sour, but nonetheless it was refreshing. The Fried Ravioli was extremely savory, and the tomato cream pairs well with it. Though if you are looking for something with lots of flavor I’d recommend trying something else. The Fettuccine Alfredo was perfectly al dente and creamy, and the herbs that was on top were very fresh. The Eggplant Parmesan was much better than ones that I’ve had before. The sauce was very flavorful, though in my partners opinion the pasta wasn’t soft enough. They also stated that the texture of the eggplant wasn’t squishy or mushy, which that’s a good thing. The service was great, the waiter stopped by periodically and asked if we needed anything or had any questions. The atmosphere was good, the decor and the seating was great. Though it got quite loud in the restaurant, loud enough to where I didn’t even realize music was playing. Overall my experience was pretty good, only "okay" thing was the fried ravioli and the lemonade. Would come again for a special occasion.

We visited The Dhaba and both ordered chicken curry, but they accidentally brought us lamb instead. After we gave them feedback, they kindly brought us the correct chicken curry — great customer service! We also added garlic naan on the side, which was soft and flavorful. Everything we ordered was really delicious. Would definitely come back for more!

Very authentic Indian cuisine. My family and I been to this place several times and were happy with our food. We ordered chicken tika masala and sharabi kababi goshit. We ordered medium spice and it was too spicy for us. The chicken was chewy. Love the lamb curry. For appetizer, we ordered keema samosa. It was not as good, great texture but seasoning could be better. I also had the masala chai. The tea portion was a bit small. Overall, very average service.

GREAT INDIAN FOOD! I really am impressed! They have variety of vegetarian dishes. I loved Chhole Bhature. What was even more amazing was the staff, especially Baldev and the owner. They were quick and friendly. The customer service was so good. I highly recommend this restaurant in Phoenix. We don’t really find such good Indian restaurants in town.

I was in the area, and happened across this lovely restaurant. I thought it was the Los Amigos Market. Lol. Vijay was My Waiter, who had a brimming smile! I have never tried a place like this before. I was pleasantly happy with my good luck if coming here. I came in for just a drink, which i had the masala chai. It was tasty with some added sugar. The dipping sauce with the bread that was at my table when I was seated was quite delicious in flavor! Each had a spice level to it, which cleared up my chest congestion. Lol. The tarin sauce was sweet & spicy. The green one was a lil too much for me. I think its the mint. The red one WAS MY FAVORITE!!! It is just tomatoes with fried red chile. I would definitely recommend for A New Experience! The music by the way. Straight vibes!!! Thank You Vinay! 😉

I went there after so long and saw a huge difference in quality of food. We ordered panner parata, naans, kadai panner which is overcooked and too hard(feels like papad). When I asked the staff, he was rude and told “this is how we make it” . It could be well handled but he failed to do it. Ordered Kadai panner spicy which turned out to be too salty. Overall I could only rate 3/5.

Fantastic cuisine with rich, authentic flavours an absolute delight for the taste buds. The menu offered a vibrant mix of traditional and modern Indian dishes. The ambience was warm and inviting, and the hospitality truly stood out. Special mention to the staff member the guy with the black Skechers shoes and green glasses, his energy and enthusiasm really elevated the entire dining experience. Friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the food, he not only gave great recommendations but also shared little cultural insights behind the dishes. You could tell he genuinely wanted guests to enjoy the cuisine and feel at home. Definitely worth a visit go try it out yourself, and if you spot the guy with the green glasses, you’re in for a great time!

Really nice Indian restaurant in Phoenix. You should go for some nice Indian cuisines when you are in Pheloenix city.

Haji-Baba is without a doubt some of the highest quality shawarma I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting. The chicken shawarma platter is immaculately flavorful, and make sure to have the garlic sauce. The built in market creates an authentic atmosphere that amplifies the dining experience.

I’ve been coming here for 20+ years and absolutely love it! I love that the menu hasn’t changed and the food flavors remain consistent. The servers are always friendly and the food comes out quickly. Don’t forget to get some delicious baklava on your way out!

Delicious food, highly recommend you try this place out. I enjoyed the chicken shawarma plate it was juicy and flavorful and the garlic sauce is amazing. We also got the baklava for dessert which was good.

It was a little pricey but very delicious. It's been 8 years since I was last here. We shall return in the future.

The best restaurant in Tempe. Food is incredible, perfectly seasoned, and very affordable. The staff are incredibly kind and hardworking. The vibes in there are lowkey and super relaxed. I love this place so much. If I could give them more stars I would in a heartbeat.

Great place for chicken shwarma. Its in a sketchy area, even walking in the place it has a warehouse feeling. But food is great!

I love Haji Baba. Always have. You cannot find better chicken Shawarma sandwiches anywhere. You cannot find better hummus anywhere! They are located conveniently off Apache in Tempe. This is a must visit. It’s also a grocery store. Very authentic. Not your average chain like pita jungle Not even close. This is a rare gem in Tempe. I have been coming here for years. The same people are always working! You know what you’re gonna get every time prices are incredible.

Ordered the oggie pasty and the cubano pasty, both were stuffed with fillings and had flavorful sauces that came with them. The chips (fries) were fresh and slightly crunchy. It was pretty busy but service was quick! Lots of seating available.

This place is absolutely beautiful! The food a great as well! I got the Shepherds Pie Pasty and it was delicious. I had ordered take out after a long day at work, so did didn’t eat it here and live 30 min away. But it was still delicious and my husband even loved it. He’s a hard critic. The portions are large, so one pasty can easily feed 2 if you normally don’t eat large portions. Or save and eat the next day. We can’t wait to do a date here in future.

Entered and it was a very slow night. First thing that I noticed was how loud the music was. The music also did not fit the British vibe of the “pub”. Our waitress verbally berated one of our guests for throwing away trash in the “kitchen only trash” that was not even in the kitchen and no signs to not use it. Very bad way to start our experience here. After the verbal lash out we attempted to order our food. We attempted to order multiple items that we were told are “not available right now” despite there being 10 total people in the restaurant including my party of 6. The list of unavailable items include, Sheppard pie, Scottish eggs, the pilgrim pasty, bread pudding and the Carmel Apple pasty. There could well be more unavailable items, these are just the ones we attempted to order and were disappointed we could not try. Now to the good of this place…the food! Despite it being a hassle to get the food we wanted we were not disappointed once the food came out. So delicious, well seasoned, and very reasonably priced. They also had a pool table you could entertain yourself with as you waited for your food to come out. Sticky toffee pudding is a MUST try from the deserts, hopefully it’s available!! Lastly the bathrooms. For a restaurant that was so clean and organized I was surprised to see paper towels all on the ground and graffiti on the trash bins. I would expect that from a circle K, not this place. Overall, terrible service and an unnecessarily loud atmosphere but some great food.

My latest visit to Cornish Pasty Co. in Mesa was excellent. The classic Oggie pasty was delicious, with a perfectly flaky crust and flavorful filling that felt fresh and comforting. The menu has a ton of variety, so there's something for everyone, whether you want a traditional pasty or something like their Chicken Tikka Masala. The service was also a definite standout. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable, offering thoughtful suggestions. The moody, dark pub atmosphere is inviting and feels both cozy and vibrant. If you're in the mood for some seriously good comfort food and a casual, unique place to hang out, Cornish Pasty Co. is worth checking out. It's a reliable spot that delivers great food and good feels.

Great place that we visited from out-of-town. Wonderful pub atmosphere, good selection of beer, and the pasties are the main attraction. Eat them by hand if you can. Several of the pasties sell out early on the weekend so the selection is better during lunch on a weekday.

I was traveling to Tempe and wanted to eat somewhere unique. This place fit the bill perfectly. The food was amazing! Cool atmosphere and excellent staff as well. Don't skip this place!

One of my fav place to go :) I have tried their veggie pasties and they are really good. Their wings are delicious as well. Tikka salad (veggie) is good as well. Lots of meat and veggie options. Tey their bread and butter,its amazing.

I finally decided to give this restaurant a try after being a bit hesitant because of some mixed reviews and the pricing. I’m glad I did—everything exceeded expectations. The short rib tacos were outstanding, and the rice and beans were flavorful and perfectly done. A special shoutout to Kat at the bar—she was incredibly knowledgeable and made some of the best Old Fashioned I’ve had in a while. She even surprised me with a custom cocktail that turned out phenomenal. Overall, great food, great drinks, and great service. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

Some of the best Mexican food we’ve had in AZ! We started with the watermelon ceviche - refreshing and delicious (would’ve liked the pieces a little smaller, but not a big deal). The short rib was incredibly tender, and the pork was flavorful. We tried both the red and white sangria and they were tasty too. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Definitely coming back!

We got the elite, carnitas and ribeye. Food was really good and service was excellent. Maria was our server. Would recommend for anyone for a chill dinner spot

Cocina Chiwas has quickly made it’s mark as one of my favorite spots in Tempe. With an intimate setting and stellar service, it’s a hard place not to love! I’ve dined in twice now, both times we made a reservation around 5pm when it was less busy and had no wait. My first visit was for a leadership dinner at work. The four of us shared the Ribeye Aguachile, and my boss had the bartender’s choice cocktail and loved it. I was sick and was recommended the non alcoholic, warm Spiced Apple Cider, and it was wonderful. The aguachile was both flavorful and tender. We all raved about it to our server and she proceeded to recommend the special ribeye tacos. We ordered 2 each and all devoured them! Again, so flavorful and tender. I couldn’t stop thinking about this place and took my partner there last night! This time, I was able to enjoy both their Red and White Sangria, and my partner got a Spicy House Margarita (Chiwarita, I believe it was named). They do not lie when they say these drinks are boozy! I of course had to get the Ribeye Aguachile again it was just as I remembered. We also split the Birria Quesadilla and it was gone in maybe 5 mins. We opted out of dessert but the Mexican hot chocolate cake our server described sounded glorious. I will have to get everyone’s names the next time I am here. All the employees are so knowledgeable about the menu and I really enjoy the open concept kitchen. This place is absolutely worth the extra $$ to go somewhere nice. Do yourselves a favor and head to Cocina Chiwas for your next night out!

Absolutely my favorite restaurant in the valley. Great value for the money, chill but upscale atmosphere, plenty of gluten free options. This is our go to date night spot.

This place had some amazing dishes, the staff was very pleasant and I really like the area that it is situated in. Also their local beer was amazing 👍🏼Would definitely go back soon!

Newer restaurant with truly excellent elevated Mexican dishes. The food was delicious and inventive, taking everyday food a few steps up. The four of us got all different meals and tried a little bit of everything, it was so fun! Our server was funny and attentive, making us feel like VIPs even though this was our first time there. The manager Juan came around just enhanced our night. The ambiance was so, so comfortable and inviting. We really enjoyed our experience overall and were talking about what we would try when we come back!! Prices were perfect for the the quality and portions you are getting, also we didn't feel overly stuffed when we were done. Give this place a try, you won't regret it!!

I do not have many pictures of food. We came with a big group for drinks. But the wings were AMAZING! And so was my cosmo! This place is huuuge! And very nice for large groups. Although we were not the only group of over 20 ppl here the server took very good care of us. Everyone here is very nice. My husband misplaced his eyeglasses and they called when we got back home to follow up. Leaving a review because the name of the restaurant was not enticing to me, we were in town for a week and I went everywhere else but here because I thought it wasn’t going to be good and I regret it. I will definitely come back and totally recommend this place.

Category: Fine food. For some reason, dining at the Culinary Dropout always feels like a party. Though we have enjoyed some of the other Phoenix/Scottsdale locations, this was the first time we dropped into the Tempe Dropout. We had matinee tix to a show at the Arizona Theatre Company, which is only a short walk away, so we made a lunch rez and sat at the bar and chatted with the bartenders. True to form, it felt like a party. Both the dining room side and the open-air Yard side were moderately busy this beautiful Sunday afternoon in early November. The place is really spacious, with high steel-beamed ceilings, exposed ductwork, and skylights. Ceiling heaters make the Yard side usable even in cooler weather. A small stage hosts musicians on Friday and Saturday nights. High-top tables abound, and the Yard has large couch pits for hosting groups. Light fixtures that remind me of early satellites hang randomly. And of course there are TVs. I didn’t want to fall asleep at the theater so I ordered an Athletic non-alcoholic beer, which complemented the excellent deviled eggs and French dip that we shared. I substituted the housemade potato chips for fries, as I always do. They are crispy and golden and perfect. I’m SO glad they brought them back to the menu. They are the best I have found in Phoenix/Scottsdale and one of the main reasons — if not the top reason — we drop in at the Dropouts. YouTube’s Chef’s Apprentice

I've heard of this place by a friend and family member and I am not disappointed. The food was flavorful and fresh. I loved the steak frites and the pretzel bites with the fondue. Pretzels were soft and light on salt. The staff is friendly. Our waitress was very informative. The place is spacious and great atmosphere. I would come back ♥︎ thank you.

Service was pretty good. The food was spectacular! Atmosphere was really nice and very open. Indoor and outdoor dining with games and a live band!

We only stopped in for drinks and a few snacks, but wow—Culinary Dropout in Tempe did not disappoint! The pretzel bites were soft, warm, and perfectly salty, and that cheese sauce? Totally addictive. We also tried the roasted bread and it was unreal—crusty, buttery, and full of flavor. Drinks were on point, the vibe was relaxed but lively, and the service was super friendly. If the small bites were this good, we can’t wait to come back for a full meal. Highly recommend!

Stopped by while I was in PHX for a business trip. Had a great time. Food was good, our server was great. I will have to swing by again next time I’m in town.

This is where we decided to tailgate before the ASU game, and it couldn’t have been better! 🎉 Culinary Dropout in Tempe’s Farmer Arts District has it all — live music, fun games, plenty of TVs for pre-game hype, and awesome seating options, including private dining areas. The food was spectacular! I had the best salmon, and my friend’s steak frites was incredible. Add in craft cocktails, top-notch service, and an unbeatable vibe, and you’ve got the ultimate spot to kick off game day or enjoy a fun night out in Tempe. #ASU #ForksUp #GameDayVibes #TailgateTime #GoDevils #TempeEats #FarmerArtsDistrict #CulinaryDropout #TempeVibes #SteakFrites #SeafoodLovers #CraftCocktails #FoodieFavorites

This cool little restaurant has a retro vibe. It’s extremely clean and the staff is always very friendly and helpful. For drinks, my wife had an iced coffee and I had a strawberry lemonade. For breakfast we had cinnamon roll pancakes and a pancake trio with cinnamon roll, strawberry shortcake, and crème brûlée pancakes. Everything was hot and fresh and tasted very good.

I have been coming to Snooze for a few years now, and it is one of my favorite breakfast places. What I like about it is the location. It is within walking distance of where I work, making it convenient to walk there whenever I crave a good brunch. One of my favorite dishes there is the breakfast tacos. Breakfast tacos are among my favorite breakfast foods, and I especially enjoy them when I get them with avocado. They also have great omelettes. One of my favorites is their Denver omelette. You can also never go wrong with their breakfast burritos either. The service is fantastic. One server, Bryan, is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. Whenever I stop by, he is always a pleasure to talk to, and he, along with the other staff members, ensures that I have everything I need. I appreciate how they care about everyone in their restaurant having a great experience. Another thing I like about Snooze is the colorful atmosphere. It is a great place to go not only for brunch, but to brighten up your day whenever you are feeling down. I look forward to future visits and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a great brunch spot in the ASU area.

I absolutely recommend checking this breakfast spot out 😍 The pancake flight was amazing! 3 flavors in one serving: strawberry shortcake, cinnamon roll, and Pineapple upside down and I am glad I didn't substitute anything out. The fresh squeezed orange juice was refreshing and the mixed lemonade special drink was quite flavorful as well. The breakfast tacos with avocado were amazing. Be sure to plan accordingly because this place is PACKED often. Be ready to wait for a table or choose a good off-hour to visit. From 2 people to a group of friends, you're just bound to have an absolutely lovely breakfast here.

Great food and service! Our waitresses were both super friendly and nice. We got the eggs Benedict (the regular ham one and the prosciutto one) which had a good hollandaise. Both were great! However I was not expecting to like the pancakes as much as I did. They really tasted homemade. I don’t even really like pancakes and I came back a second day and ordered them. By far the pineapple upside down pancake was the best, followed by the pumpkin and the cinnamon roll. The Bloody Mary was also great. Highly recommend! We had about a 20 minute wait both times but it was well worth it.

I know Snooze from other US cities and had mixed experiences. This however, was a good location. Friendly young waiter and the breakfast was very good. GF bread available.

I had a sandwich and it was sooo good 🥪🤤 Only thing!!!there was kind of a weird smell inside 😅 so I’d definitely recommend sitting outside when the weather’s nice ☀️

My girlfriend and I are visiting from Utah and decided to come here for breakfast, and we had a wonderful experience! Our server, Ty, aka T-money, was absolutely amazing. Such a sweet personality and very friendly, she gave us recommendations and helped us decide and even brought us free pancakes as a welcome gift! If we lived around here we would definitely be coming here again.

Hands down the best restaurant I’ve visited in the past year. The attention to detail with the ingredients of each dish is insane and the presentation is outstanding. The chef shared samples of some of the other specialties they offer and we were blown away. Highly recommend for both the sweet and savory pallets out there. Something for everyone.

The Crepe Bar is an excellent choice for breakfast. The variety of savory and sweet options was pleasant as it could fit a lot of different taste buds. The avocado toast was hearty with a lot of greens that gave the dish balance. The Street Tacos and Adobo burrito had similar profiles, and although while delicious, would recommend not trying them within the same meal. Service was great and would recommend those to visit if they haven't had the chance!

I've been here many times back when I was a drinker I enjoyed their beverages here quite a bit and they had smoked drinks they have all kinds of drinks if you're a drinker. If Good foods what you're interested in though this is a place to go. A lot of people always think of crepes as being the sweet dessert things when I guess a lot of people like them but when I want a crepe I go get some of the savory ones here. I think my favorite is the Jamaican jerk but that's cuz I'm kind of a jerk. Great place to meet friends or family to have brunch or lunch it's really a delicious restaurant. The food always is fresh cooked to order and it doesn't take forever they serve delicious food.

The workers are so nice and the chef himself served the food to us! It's a pretty quiet place I think music would have been nice. The food was delicious! I'd eat here again.

Wonderful place! Fresh, delicious and interesting dishes. The portions were large and artfully presented. Jeff and his team were welcoming and friendly and service was great. The room was casual and relaxed with an unhurried feeling. We tried the house made granola which was excellent, the sugar crepe and burrito adobo crepe (pictured below) and everything was superb. Will definitely come back!

All I can say is WoW! Got a recommendation to check it out and am blown away. Never got into crepes, but dang I walked out surprisingly full. Wasn't expecting that. The experience from walking in, tasting their granola, the grand crepe, and the customer service this place is a hidden gem! Coming back to try the others very soon!!

Awesome food, incredibly nice staff, kid friendly, great coffee, and cool atmosphere. They let my daughters see how crepes are made and apply their own powdered sugar even after returning a couple times. Super friendly staff. The crepes are outstanding—you won’t go wrong regardless of whether you want something savory or sweet. Coffee shop options also: great coffee.

After two visits, I can confidently say Ghost Ranch has left a lasting impression. There’s so much to love—where to begin? **Service:** We were fortunate to have Noah as our server on both occasions. He was outstanding—knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely personable, which made both dinners even more enjoyable. **Atmosphere:** The decor and ambiance are beautifully done, creating a warm and inviting space. If I had one suggestion for improvement, it would be to slightly lower the volume of the music, which at times felt a bit overpowering. **Food & Drink:** This is where Ghost Ranch truly shines. The menu offers a brilliant fusion of modern cuisine with traditional Mexican and New Mexican flavors. The *Tomahawk Pork Chop* was a standout—perfectly cooked, rich, and deeply savory. We also tried *The Sampler*, which was a fantastic way to explore a variety of flavors and textures, each one thoughtfully prepared. The drink selection complemented the food beautifully, rounding out an exceptional dining experience, but the old fashion called to me and did not disappoint.

Ghost Ranch was such a positive experience. I had driven by it a few times and was very excited to bring my fiancé here. Often times, when something is anticipated so much, it does not live up to it. Not the case here. We ordered their version of elote. It was served in a skillet with the corn on the bottom, cheese and a mayo spread over the top. This was the only dish we were not thrilled about. It was tasty but the layer of cheese was way to thick. The menu mentioned cotija cheese but it was a much thicker, melted version of a cheese blend. It made the dish very oily, which took away. The first couple bites were tasty but the thick cheese and oil got a little overwhelming. Chips were fresh and very good. For our main dish we shared the platter, which was a perfect size and so delicious. I can eat a ton but my fiancé likes little portions of different things so it worked perfectly for us. The skirt steak was cooked to a perfect medium temperature. It also had a great flavor! Many times the skirt steak at a Mexican restaurant is very thin and overcooked. This was thick, juicy and very flavorful. This dish cones with 3 enchiladas as well. Each had a different sauce and was delicious. They seemed to be deep fried for a second because the enchiladas were a little crispy. Not in a bad way at all though. They were very good. Lastly we had desert. It was between 2 but we chose this one. It was a very large portion and very good. The strawberries on top and the whipped cream were a nice touch. Neither of us drink alcohol so we just had water. Atmosphere was great, our server was friendly and the food was great. We will definitely be back.

I debated on even leaving a review, because I don’t want people to know about this place. Walked in around 7pm on a Saturday night. Plenty of tables, so there was no wait - which was unbelievable. Got the queso fondido as an appetizer. Chorizo was amazing with it. Margarita flight was also great. The Fuego margarita is what I’d get next time individually though. I’m an indecisive person so I got the sampler. It was amazing and a great choice, when you want a little bit of everything. Wife got the Aztec cake which was great. I’d honestly get this next time. Finished it off with the Chocoflan which was a 5/5. Honestly, everything here was near perfect. Service was great - particularly Alex. He checked on us often and gave amazing recommendations. Atmosphere was amazing. Lighting was perfect. The price is worth it. This place gives everyone else a run for their money. I’ll absolutely be back here very soon.

First time here and it did not disappoint. Everything was fast and amazing. Our sever Emma was so personable and made it fun being there even with how busy it was. Highly recommend the skirt steak taco platter but definitely come hungry or have some help.

We ordered way too much but it was well worth it. Very flavorful and a great spin on traditional dishes. Highly recommend and honestly great value for the portions. Great service and can't say enough about the quality of each dish.

Went in for happy hour and Cat took great care of us! The cocktails were perfect and our cheese crisp was just what we imagined. Great food and great drinks. Cat is a master of her craft. She offered to create and alter any drink on the menu. We will be back!

Food was so good!!! As soon as I tasted the pozole I thought of my nana! This will be a regular place in our rotation! Rylee was our server tonight and she was AMAZING!!

I had dinner. Appetizers were good. Drink not my favorite I got melon mule. I wouldn’t recommend it. Salmon was tasty. Ribeye was not great. He asked medium they give him well done. They re made it but still was more well done than medium. He just ate 1/2 of it. Desserts were good. We got coconut tres leches and I forgot the name of the another dessert. Bill was almost 240 with the tip just fyi

Had breakfast at Alter Ego inside the Canopy Hotel and really enjoyed it. I ordered the Varsity Breakfast — fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy hashbrowns, toast, sausage, and fresh orange juice. Everything was tasty and well-prepared, a solid way to start the day. The space is stylish and open, with a great vibe. In the mornings it feels relaxed, but at night this spot really comes alive — the bar is always full and the restaurant is packed. It’s clearly one of the go-to hangouts in Tempe. Whether you’re staying at the hotel or just nearby, Alter Ego is a great choice for breakfast, drinks, or a lively evening out.

I've stayed at Canopy by Hilton twice now and both times I booked through Amex and had a $100 food & beverage credit, so I got to try a lot of food at Alter Ego. For a hotel restaurant, it's pretty great. The menu has a lot of options and everything is pretty tasty. As a regular restaurant I'm not quite sure I would go if I lived in the area, but I also wouldn't rule it out. Both trips I had the Fork & Knife Breakfast Burrito and it was absolutely incredible. You can EASILY feed two people with this, and I'm sad to say I almost finished the whole thing this morning. Fast forward 10 hours and I wasn't even that hungry for dinner, but I had the miso salmon which the bartender recommended and was great. The menu was slightly different from a year and a half ago so it's nice to see they don't just let the menu sit for frequent visitors of the hotel. Service has always been excellent from both bars/restaurants in the hotel.

I tried burrito and hamburger. Ther were really nice. If there were no restaurants around hilton, I had used here more. Prices were acceptable.

Had such a great time at AlterEgo! The food was so good — full of flavor and perfectly spiced. Definitely recommend trying their spicy margarita, it was bomb! Big shoutout to Josh Morrow and the manager for the awesome service — super friendly. Can’t wait to come back! 🍹🔥

Josh is an exceptional server! From the moment we sat down, he was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome. He knew the menu inside and out and offered great recommendations. Our drinks were always refilled, and he checked on us just the right amount without being intrusive. Josh really went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable. Highly recommend! Thanks Josh!

Josh was exceptional! My wine and Asian noodle salad, Korean wings, and flat bread was 100/10. Highly recommend this establishment any day of the week!!

Phenomenal food, good wine selection, great service, and amazing outdoor seating! Treated ourselves to a fancy dinner and it was definitely worth it. The weather was terrible, but our server, Avery, was accommodating and placed us right next the the fire pit. I was pleasantly surprised with every single thing we had. The pork shank’s jalapeño apple jam was mind blowing! The chef’s attention to detail in every recipe is what sets this food apart. Highly recommend!

Some street and alleyway parking, but very limited. Takes cash and card and as of 6/26 is still requiring masks if you are not seated; staff still wearing masks as well. We only had drinks and an order of bread, but the spot is really cool and servers were above average, so I wanted to give a review. Cocktails were tasty and well presented and there's a cool outdoor bar with a TON of outdoor seating. One of the cool things about this place is that it's almost completely surrounded by vegetation and fountains, cooling off the air and practically giving House of Tricks its own weather in the midst of an unforgiving Arizona climate. I will update my review once I head back for food, but for now I can tell you this is an awesome spot to grab an afternoon drink in a really unique and awesome setting with down to earth and helpful servers. Recommended!

House of tricks, house of surprises! We love this restaurant, attracted by the interesting name, but the good quality tasty food, the nice green environment, great service are all beyond our expectations. Every dish we ordered was so good. Pork shank is a big dish, we did not finish at all. Maybe I only had half and starting to feeling full. The portion is huge, really make the price worthy. Apple bread pudding dessert is so good! Goons try! We would like to come back but they said they will close the restaurant permanently soon, omg so sad to see such a nice restaurant to go! Sad!

Our experience was perfect! From the friendly bartenders making great drinks, to Andre our waiter who was beyond attentive and sweet. They have a wonderful variety on the menu. I had the tenderloin and it just melted in my mouth! The atmosphere is charming and romantic. Great date night! Enjoy and outdoor table if you can. They had heaters and fleece blankets for our laps to keep us comfortable!! I loved this restaurant 😊

So this is very weird that I haven’t reviewed house of tricks. I am. It sure how many times I have been here and or how many photos of the food I have taken. This is one of my favorite places in Arizona. Always an exceptional meal and great cocktails. A lot of the stuff on the menu changes often so I’ve had a lot of options. From duck, chicken, and lamb shank. Like the photo I’ll post here. This dish! One of the best dishes I’ve ever had in my life. The purée was just to die for. Just simply amazing. As I write this I realize I need to see if I can go back for it again before it’s gone but it probably is. Here is also a photo of their duck breast and the Salvatore caramel bread pudding. Also very delicious. One thing not pictured is the Korean bbq ribs. Those bad boys are always worth getting for an appetizer. Such good taste. Took left overs home because I was super excited to just have that taste again later. Also not pictured are my cocktails but do you really need to see a picture of those in order to try them for yourself?

My husband treated me to this amazing restaurant for my birthday in September of last year. The staff was very attentive and nice. They were knowledgeable of the menu and ingredients. Our reservation was for 6pm and we dined outside. The experience was simply amazing. I was a bit bothered by the fact that it was downtown Tempe and you could here the college kids revving cart engines and motorcycles but there dining experience overshadowed all of that and I forgot about everything else outside the restaurant. The cocktails are great also! Great prices also. My husband and I each had an appetizer, entree, bacon arugula salad and 2 cocktails each and our bill was about $140 without the tip. WELL WORTH THE VISIT!!!!

Charming, spacious patio offering delicious dishes. The pork is extraordinary, as is the bison meatloaf. Don't leave without dessert - the bread pudding is a perfect ending to an incredible meal. I've already made reservations to go back!

The best Thai food I have had in AZ so far. My only request is please include the option to select extra cashew nuts especially in the pineapple fried rice when placing an order through Doordash or uber eats. This place is amongst the top 3 places I have ever had Thai food in the states. It is neck and neck with the number 1 spot called MA-NOW Thai Cusine in Hillsborough Oregon.

Always greeted and sat right away with a friendly staff even while busy. Food comes super fast compared to anywhere else in town that's for sure. Everything taste fresh, cooked to perfection and never under or over cooked. Just perfect. Thai tea taste delicious. Not many restaurants get this one right. It's not over powering with a bitter taste. Could be a little bigger but maybe I just enjoy it too much and want more haha. Pad thai. My go to. Noodles are perfectly cooked, meat os nice and tender for the beef and cooked great for chicken. No char, not burnt. Just cooked perfect again. You get a really good amount of food for it too. Not skimped. Yum nua (beef salad) taste amazing too. Lots of protein and the greens and veggies were fresh. Not wilted or saugy. Highly recommend this place. Also the desserts are so good. Coconut ice cream one with the rice was great.

They opened right at the stroke of 11. She seated me with my choice of a booth. The establishment was clean and the staff was well prepared and dressed nicely. She brought out a wonderful vegetable soup and salad with some delightful dressing. The green curry was hot, a little spicy and delicious. Keep it up! Kudos.

I’ve never eaten there in person, only have had their food from DoorDash but I just had the BEST thing I’ve ever eaten and had to come here to tell everyone. I was NOT expecting to be this blown away, but the golden curry puffs are a thing of beauty and genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, from any cuisine, restaurant or country. Try them. Do it. Anytime I’m feeling like Thai in the future, I will have to order from here simply for those dang golden curry puffs but I’m not complaining!!!

Yupha’s Thai is a local favorite Thai food restaurant. This is one of the best Thai places I have been around Chandler. This is a very busy place I had takeout and dine in couple of times. I tried various dishes from this places they don’t fail to keep up quality or flavors. They cater to various spice levels I really love their Thai spice blend. I love their mango sticky rice. Overall it’s a great Thai place

This is probably one of the best Thai places in the valley. The food is always perfect, service ridiculously fast, and I just couldn't be happier coming here all the time for lunch at work. Love it!

We ate at Yupha's upon the recommendation of a neighbor - it turned out to be the best recommendation ever. Everything that was ordered - shrimp appetizer, Yupha's fried rice with pork, Drunken Noodles - was fresh, served hot, and was full of flavor. We rarely ever order dessert but the sound of homemade coconut ice cream and fried banana with ice cream were too much to resist - refreshing and delicious. All at a very reasonable price. The crazy part? Our server (May?) was the sweetest and friendliest person ever while also being very skilled. Can't wait to return soon.

We’ve been coming here for many years and always stop in when in Phoenix. Everything is always so good. I usually get the Big Wac with a side of thyme fries. A Soynami is a must, especially in the summer. You have to try it!

The Big Wac was so delicious. The wings were so tasty and came with carrots and celery a super plus. The Brussels didn't miss, and the margarita made me sing, literally. The service was immaculate. We will be back. Feel free to open one in Nashville, TN... 😆

I can't get enough of this place. One of the best vegetarian restaurants I've ever been to. I will list a few things I have had, but the whole menu is rock solid. Before it became too hot, I loved to sit outside to eat this great food...and the juices???? Amazing!! Eggless rolls with the lemon dipping sauce, curry bowls (spicy is my fav), hamburger, " fish" and "chicken" tacos...etc! Don't miss eating this great food!!

First time visiting. 5 star for the Big Wac, buffalo chicken and the bff. Fries are leaning towards the soggy side. Shake was also not solid enough.

Nice drink selection. Fruit cup is a good value. Ordered grits, received hominy. Kinda like ordering mashed potatoes and getting a baked potato.

The food was amazing as always but the ladies working had the nastiest attitude even though I walked in all smiles … they were rushing us to order and just acted like they didn’t want to help us in general! The people who work at the Tempe location are way nicer. The girls name was Aislyn and the manager working was Julia.

Why would anyone ever eat at a chain when you could have this amazing plant based burger. Lady working register was very friendly and helpful.

Love the bruschetta and grilled cheese with tomato soup. And really enjoyed the meatballs. I think they had goat cheese on them, which was nice and tangy. I was surprised with how much I really liked it .They have a lot of bruschetta options and the food is all really good.

A light lunch of soup and bruschetta carried more comfort than I expected. Warm flavors and crisp freshness felt like a verse well spoken. The bartender was attentive with steady care never letting a guest go unnoticed. A brief visit yet memorable and worthy of return.

Fantastic place to hang out. We were there for lunch on an ASU game day. Server was amazing. We got a combined 5 glasses of wine (at 6 dollars each per their daily happy hour). For food, we had Bruscetta and the Smoked Salmon board. We weren't rushed, and they truly made us feel like we were special. We will definitely be back!

Popped into Postino’s Annex in Tempe to celebrate my favorite travel partner’s birthday, and let me tell you, this place is vibes. You’d never guess it’s tucked near a college campus, because the moment you walk in, it feels like you’ve teleported somewhere between a chic wine lounge and your cool friend’s backyard party that somehow always has perfect lighting. The ambiance is warm, laid-back, and effortlessly stylish, exposed brick, dangling lights, and that cozy-meets-trendy energy that makes you want to stay for “just one more glass.” The music’s good, the crowd’s fun, and the staff? Absolute rockstars. They made sure the birthday girl and the five guys she somehow convinced to join her (yes, we all came for moral support and carbs) were taken care of like VIPs. Food? Outstanding. The bruschetta board is basically a love language, and if you’re not pairing it with a bottle (or two) of wine, you’re doing it wrong. Every bite, every sip, every laugh, perfection. Already planning my next excuse to “accidentally” end up back here with a glass of Moscato in hand and a bruschetta board in front of me.

We stopped in after going to the theatre. I ordered the PREAM bowl with chicken and steak skewers in it. It was ok except the grains were hard like rocks, every unpleasant. We also ordered hot donut dots which were delicious and olive oil cake that was very good. The restaurant opens to the outside, and the flies were coming in. Not my favorite restaurant.

Love this place! Went the other night and had a great time. Shoutout to the bartenders Niko and Jr. – super friendly, fast, and made us feel right at home. Best service I’ve had in Tempe! The tri-tip dip is outstanding – juicy meat, perfect roll, and that au jus is 🔥. Paired it with an ice-cold beer poured just right. So good! Cool vibe, awesome staff, killer food and drinks. Already want to go back!

Girls night out! From the start to finish our service was 10/10 would recommend!! Our server Nico was on it, always making sure we were taken cared of. The Manager JR was absolutely delightful and very organized at managing his team. Food is also wonderful!!! Definitely coming back!!!!

We had a fantastic dining experience. There were four of us, and everyone gave the food a solid 5 stars. The bread was outstanding, and every dish was full of great flavor. Portions were generous and well worth the price. The indoor dining area had a cozy, warm atmosphere, while the outdoor seating provided another nice option. Highly recommend.

Last minute dining. Seated outside on a beautiful night in November at 5:15 with no reservation. Staff was super friendly. Prices are surprisingly moderate for such fresh food. We had a vegetarian in our party of three, and there were many options. My seasonal martini was exceptional. The Perfect Pear salad was delish. Soup a little salty, but that seems to be the norm when eating out. Acoustics were lovely- easy to have a conversation. I will return.

Perfect Pear Bistro is one of my favorite brunch spots in Tempe when I want fresh comfort food and a relaxed morning out. Their menu offers a fun variety, think roasted butternut squash tacos, Pear Cobb salad, plus vegetarian & vegan swap-ins so everyone in the group is happy. The patio setting feels cheerful and casual; I especially appreciate the shaded outdoor tables and misters (so it doesn’t get too hot) when brunching later in the morning. Service tends to be warm and efficient, and though it can get busy, it never feels rushed. Truly a great way to start the day in Tempe.

Absolutely love this restaurant and would visit regularly if I lived nearby. The spicy margarita was in my top 3 margaritas of all time. The food options were so hard to choose from. I got the spicy ginger quinoa bowl and wished I could have tried so many other things on the menu. Great flavors and super cute environment. Our server was super sweet and helpful.

Great little family owned gem in Tempe! Absolutely recommend! Healthy food, afordable prices and great portions! Beer selection is on point! Great for students and familes! A must!

What an amazing spot! The best part, the service. Both gentleman, the one who seated us and the one who served us were fantastic at showing they care. Super neat outside patio too. The food came quick but we just beat the rush. Clearly they are an amazing place as in 20 minutes it went from almost empty to almost overflowing. I always forget the food pictures but the Mushroom and Brie soup was phenomenal! The Chicken BLT sandwich was a bit disappointing though. It lacked flavor and the flavor it had wasn’t that good. Don’t really know why but I was not a fan at all. It was a giant sandwich so that was positive. And honestly, the sweet potato fries were overcooked and pretty lame too. That being said, my friend got the jalapeño grilled cheese and was very happy. I assume I just got the wrong thing on the wrong day. Everything looked amazing and everyone was happy. I’d still call this place a must. I’ll certainly be back and will try other things.

I really like all the decorations. The food is delicious! Although it took a little while to come to our table, it was all in all a great experience. I especially enjoyed their delicious raspberry lemonade.

I’m in love! After hearing some chatter about Khải Hoàn I made my 40 minute drive to check them out. Word of mouth is important to any business and it was worth every minute. You’ll find them in such an unassuming parking lot. I nearly drove by it and if it wasnt for my map I might just have. The location is small, but the service big! I’ve never met a more friendly group. This family owned business really loves what they do and it shows in the quality and presentation of their food. We couldn’t decide on appetizers so we opted for both crab puffs and egg rolls. For our entree we chose Pho Tom Cua (#10) which is seafood rice noodle with both shrimp and crab meat as well as Pho Tai (#3) Rare Beef Pho. Everything came out fairly quick. Appetizer first. I loved how the egg rolls were presented with the fresh veggies and fish sauce to go with it all. Delicious! I’m not typically a fan of crab puffs, but my daughter wanted to try them so we ordered them. These were quite good. The pho portions were huge, good portions of protein and full of flavor. Additional toppings were fresh and plentiful and jalepeno pretty spicy. Everything you need is at the table from chopsticks, sauces, spoons and more. We were checked on multiple times, drinks refilled and nice conversation. You could tell there were a lot of regulars coming in and it was pretty busy with walk ins our entire meal. Great stop and we can’t wait of come back.,Come to Surprise we need you ha ha ha .

Such great pho and service! You can really taste the authenticity in their food. Definitely coming back.

First time visiting this restaurant. Quick service and family owned. We ordered the #2 & #3 pho plates and the grilled pork over rice. The pho broth was flavorful, not too sweet, not too salty perfect rich taste!! The bowels are a good size and very filling. I would recommend this place to visit if you're looking for a new place to try. They do offer takeout too! 😁

Best pho in town! Customer service is phenomenal, food is delicious!!! They never fail. The broth is super flavorful, spring rolls & egg rolls are also delicious. You also can never go wrong with a cold sweet coconut. Yummmm!

Love this spot! The vegetarian pho is so flavorful and filled with lots of vegetables. Best pho broth too! The staff is so kind and attentive.

I was visiting PHX and I was with cravings of pho, and was definitely a great decision, friendly staff and food was delicious!

The food was good but I waited 20 minutes for a bowl of cold noodles. Customers who came after us had their appetizers and piping hot noodles served before us. When I motioned for the waiter what the hold up was, he shouted across the room. When I mentioned to the woman who served me what the wait was for, she mentioned the egg rolls in my cold noodles took a long time. I guess they took a long time for me because those appetizers others had were egg roils. Lots of excuses but the man waiter with his LA cap on was very rude and said many rude things to me. Mind you, I never raised my voice nor said anything other than he was rude to shout across the room at me. He did apologize and discount my bill but my night was ruined. I just wanted to enjoy good food but I ended up crying with frustration and disappointment.

We used Social Hall to cater our community football watch party and couldn’t have been happier! The food was absolutely delicious—classic game day bites that everyone loved. Our residents raved about the quality and variety, and everything was fresh and perfectly prepared. The service was smooth and professional, making the event stress-free on our end. We’ll definitely be using them again for future events!

Hosted my wedding reception here in the rafter room since we eloped a few months ago. Food was great, they made planning easy! The space was beautiful and there was a perfect space for a Photobooth on the outside patio. The projector was great too so we could play our elopement video.

Went for the Taste in Tempe, 3 courses 1 price, no cooking. The burger was good, the chicken sandwich didn’t have much flavor. The server was cool, young and professional! The Caesar salad was underwhelming as well. The drinks were good enough. This place used to be historic, and many will have memories of what it used to be 20 years ago. Seems like a fun place for a date! Or for younger people. I’d probably give it another try.

Such a cool vibe and atmosphere. Not only is their food bomb, but they have fun games to play and places to lounge and hang out. I got the buffalo mac, wings, and nachos. So so good. I also recommend the "Adult Caprisun". Delicious. Also go during happy hour and it isn't as busy!

We had our company summer party here and it was absolutely amazing! The venue was perfect, and the staff went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. Truly a fantastic experience from start to finish

Visit: April 2024 We are not from this area, but we wanted a place that had good food and drinks. This place did not disappoint. We sat outside, and it's a nice inviting ambiance. Our server was great! She was attentive and sweet. This is a good spot for young adults. There was a ping pong table and billiards to play. We didn't go inside, so I'm not sure how loud it gets in there. We had a great dining experience and would recommend this place if you're visiting the area.

I absolutely love this place! The vibes are great and the staff is super nice. I went for my birthday brunch and they were very accommodating. They asked where we would like to sit and they even gave us time to take our pictures. The food and drinks were so amazing, and the prices were great for the portions. They have something for everyone on the menu, and while still being small enough that everything was consent and delicious. I am definitely coming back and definitely recommend!

Great breakfast sandwich for the right price! Very delicious and filling. The quality of the ingredients really comes forward in it. The lady who helped me at the window was very nice, taking care to make sure a special request for my food was put in, and also offering to leave the balcony seating for me since I came just before close.

$6 for a big breakfast sandwich isn't bad at all. Prices are decent and the food is really good. The only thing that prevents this place from being 5 stars is the service. Not bad in terms of customer interactions, but very slow to get the food out to you. Be prepared to wait for a bit before your food is ready.

This place is just gross. The arugula salad was old, the chicken was way over cooked. I ordered a tomato and mozzarella salad with chicken (for an extra $3). It came quickly, but without chicken. The host assured it the chicken was in there, it was not. She gave in and gave me 2, 2oz cups of diced chicken. The tomato was old and on its last leg, and the mozzarella cheese was bland and flavorless. You will get a better meal from nearly every eatery in the Tempe area, than this place. 4 stars on atmosphere, on a sunny Tempe day, if you know what I mean.

The woman at the register was fast smiling and a great face for your company. I can’t complain about the quality of the food.. However, one of the two cooks moved at slower than a snails pace. It was actually painful watching him. He was shoving food in his mouth the entire time with the same gloves he never changed after his fingers were literally in his mouth. It was obvious that he had smoked all the weed he had before he came to work. I took a video but was not able to upload it on this forum. If corporate would like to see this video, please let me know. The other cook could have been faster had he been out of the way.

Ordered their smoked salmon bagel and it was amazing. It's 14$ but totally worth it! Their latte was fine. A bit bitter tbh. The service was nice and the environment is really chill. Will definitely come back again!

Service was excellent!!! I was in a big rush catching my transfer flight, the kibe is not very long but there's couple of people in front of me. Didn't eat whole day so I asked the cook if she can rush my order. She did!!! And I didn't miss my flight! Really appreciate her service. Ordered the nova burger, for $10 it was just so so. Paddy was too thin. Bread was decent. Thanks again for being so helpful.

Went for a brunch snack with some classmates and was surprised to find a delicious breakfast burrito on the menu. It is fairly priced but well worth it. It was eggs, fries, cheese and a side of salsa. Very good salsa btw. They even have a punch card for frequent patrons. I will definitely go here again.

Hidden gem in south Tempe! The service was friendly and warm, and the wings were delicious. My wife and I were going home after picking up a car at the shop, and we arrived just before happy hour ended. The bartender was super nice and attentive, the drinks were above board, and the food was hot and fresh. Great vibe, and you would not guess that a place inside a Safeway-anchored strip mall would feel so much like fine dining. Can’t wait to have a sit down meal here!

My husband and I went here for the first time and it was an all-round amazing experience experience!! We got there about an hour before they closed but they never made us feel rushed or anything. Our server Mike was informative and friendly, he saw to our every need. The food was imaginative and delicious! So good that webseriously wanted to come back the next day to try something else! This is relatively new restaurant that started not long before the pandemic and I hope they make through these trying times. All the staff wore masks and they tables were separated a good distance from each other. Eat here and you won't regret it, support local businesses! Live dangerously and order the Chef's Whim! Update! Still good, make sure to dine here. It's delicious!!

Amazing!!!! We did the happy food dance with every bite. We are foodies, I'll spare you a long read, just go and experience this hidden gem. The owners are incredible and are there to serve you and the food was incredible! Music playlist was amazing! Vibe was excellent. Get the Escargot! It's incredible! The chef is known for his bone marrow. That was so magical. Lamb chops were delicious and the veggies and potatoes had a finish to them like we've never had. The peaches and cream dessert was so light and delicious. Chef's kiss to everything on the menu. Thank you to the owners for bringing us this great food and service!

I came to The Peppermill in Tempe and ordered the lamb chops—absolutely outstanding! Perfectly cooked to a tender, juicy medium-rare with a beautiful sear and just the right amount of seasoning to let the flavor of the lamb shine. The portion was generous, and every bite melted in my mouth. Paired with their sides and a well-crafted cocktail, it made for an unforgettable meal. The intimate, cozy atmosphere and attentive service only made the experience better. If you’re a lamb lover, this dish alone is worth the trip!

Extremely Disappointing Experience for a Group of 17 – Not Recommended We had a company gathering of 17 people at this restaurant, and unfortunately, not a single attendee left with a positive impression; everyone commented that it was not relaxing atmosphere and bad food. Here are the key issues we encountered: 1. Poor Group Accommodation Despite making a reservation in advance, the restaurant was clearly unprepared to handle a group of our size. Only one server was assigned to our entire party. While she did her best, it was simply impossible for her to provide adequate service under those conditions. 2. Steak Orders Were a Disaster Ten of us ordered Rib-eyes, all requested medium-well. None were cooked properly—some were undercooked, others overdone and burnt. One guest received her steak 30 minutes late, and it was nearly raw. She had to box it and take it home uneaten. 3. Poor Food Quality for the Price For a steakhouse charging $50–$100 per entrée, the quality was shockingly poor. Appetizers were decent, but the main dishes were extremely disappointing. Steaks were inconsistently cooked, and plating was not as advertised. For instance, we were told Rib-eyes would be served with mashed potatoes, but what arrived looked like deep-fried potato chunks shaped like hush puppies. 4. Unprofessional and Dishonest Ownership The most troubling aspect was the attitude of the owner. She was rude, unwelcoming, and failed to thank us for our business. I overheard her taking another reservation for 7:30 PM while we were just being seated at 5:00 PM. I had informed her that some of our guests might arrive slightly late, but everyone would be there by 5:30 PM. When I expressed concern about being rushed, she denied having booked a 7:30 reservation, which directly contradicted what I had just heard and what the server confirmed. Her demeanor was tense, defensive, and far from professional. (she tried to tell me the 7:30 reservation was made months ahead without knowing it was already after I her that she just took the reservation) She even told we can somewhere else, like if we can make arrangement at that point for 17 people to go to. It seems almost discrimination toward Asian(?) 5. False Advertising The menu photos on the website and review platforms did not match what was actually served. The dish descriptions were misleading, and expectations based on photos and verbal confirmations were not met. In summary, we spent over $1,500 on what turned out to be a frustrating and unpleasant experience. Between the poor food, underwhelming service, and unprofessional management, we cannot recommend this restaurant—especially not for large groups or special occasions. Additionally: I asked for whisky cocktail with cinnamon, cherry and orange; he put hot paper (all of us took turned and tasted; it was so burning hot, burnt our mouth, who would thought???).

We've always wanted to go there. We finally did. It was a great meal. Good food, good service, in a good atmosphere. We'll be back.

We come here a lot but this was the best experience of all. We had Mike who took really good care of us. His service was spot on. Also making it a special experience was chef Chad. I was planning a special dinner for a big day and it meant a lot to me and my partner. I called and asked if he had a certain item on the menu currently and he didn’t, but he went out of the way to go get some for us and made a an incredible special dinner. Thank you so much, Chad and thank you for always serving amazing food! Always looking forward to the next time we can visit the Peppermill!

Easily some of the best food I’ve had in Phoenix and honestly even compared to Jersey and NYC - authentic, reasonably priced, clean, and very informative server. I really liked the fact you can sit on the floor if you would like to and eat the platter there in a more traditional manner. The dishes have great sauces and there were so many options! I got the slow stewed chicken over rice (started with an h). Not too salty, and also extremely tender.

First of all yummmyyyy. Priced super well. Came out to $20 each including tax, tip, drinks and we had so many leftovers. We took 2 lamb and 1 chicken mandi. I loved both and the rice was very well flavoured. Seating and ambiance was also very nice with floor seating.

We went to try Mandi and had a great experience! The restaurant offers both regular table seating and traditional majlis-style floor seating. We chose the floor seating, which made the meal feel even more authentic and enjoyable. The food was delicious — we ordered two types of Mandi with mixed meat options, and everything was flavorful and well-prepared. Definitely a place worth visiting if you enjoy Middle Eastern cuisine!

3/15/25: Short version - very delicious food, friendly staff, beautiful decor. It did take some time for the food to come out, the interior was clean (but also a bit tight w/ tables & booths), parking lot is not well striped, blind driveway could be disastrous if you're not careful. Longer version - Mandi House has been on my list of places to try for a very long time. This particular Saturday we finally decided to check it out. Parking? Their parking lot is on the east side (west side is the apartment complex). It is a tight driveway, I do not think two cars would fit if one were heading in and another out (especially if one of those cars as an mammoth SUV). It is a very blind driveway coming out. There is a "watch for pedestrians & bikes" sign (that has been graffitied) but we discovered just how low the visibility is (thanks to the building on their east side). Thankfully it was spring break for ASU, because honestly, we had to stick the nose of the car so far out in order to see any kind of traffic (vehicular of foot) that I can see how easy it would be for a collision to occur. Don't let that stop you from trying out Mandi House, just be very careful. The parking lot wasn't the cleanest and I think its overdue for some new striping, but it was fairly large. Food/Drinks? Tasty and hot, cold & bubbly, respectively. Not going to lie, we did almost turn around & leave once walking into the door -- but only because we saw a butt load of buffet bins laid out on multiple tables. We thought "Is this a buffet place?" We kept going in anyway, which is when we saw a few booths full of people, and figured they were just cleaning up the bins, preparing for a buffet at some later date & time. We placed our order (hummus, hannieth meat, mathbi meat (both lamb dishes, one spicy, the other sweet). Unfortunately they were out of all their juices (I wanted mango), so we had to scour the multitude of drinks in their coolers, settling on a couple Freez mixes (pomegranate, lemon & ginger). It did take some time for the hummus to come out, so be patient. The food is worth the wait. The pita came out steaming hot, and we devoured the entire thing. Pita was so dang good we asked for more. Our entree plates came out & we both gasped at how large the plates were. The lamb was fall-off-the-bone delicious. I mean it -- it really fell off the bone. The rice was interesting, in that we saw three colors. It was a very colorful plate of scrumptious food. The Hannieth Meat I got was just this side of spicy; not burn-your-mouth spicy, simply full of flavor. The Mathbi Meat dish my sister got was on the sweet side. Both of us enjoyed the food immensely. We opted to go for dessert: kinafa. It was nothing we had ever tried before, and the gentleman behind the counter (Ral?) was very nice & explained the difference to me -- its description read cheese, but he explained at Mandi House they use a cream. As he was explaining it, I laughed an said "so the cheese isn't a mozzarella or anything?" But apparently, he said some places to actually use that type of cheese, but they wash off the salt. Huh, learn something new every day. Which brings me to ... Staff? Ral was actually the only staff we spoke to, since he not only took our orders but brought the food out as well. We did see a couple other gentleman walking around but one appeared to be focused on bussing the tables and the other seemed to be cleaning up the restaurant in general. Ral was polite & friendly. The kinafa came out hot, and we had another laugh because we had seen the dish in their display case. Both of us thought it was rice. Ral laughed along with us, saying that's what most people think it is. We dug in. It was yummy. It was crunchy (thanks to the shredded phyllo dough), but with a creamy center. It had a touch of sweetness. If you have had baklava, think half of that sweetness. That is how mild the kinafa was. Luckily we were full from the other grub, so we were able to save some for leftovers. Would we visit Mandi House again? Most assuredly.

The food was delicious, and the service was great. Welcome environment, and the food is tasty, whether it's beef chicken or fish.

As a Saudi, I can confirm that the chicken mandi is the same as traditional one we have in our culture, and it is fantastic 💯

Ordered through DoorDash. Food was hot and soooo delicious! I ordered the maqluba and was blown away by the flavors and freshness, especially since it was delivery. It was the perfect comfort food that doesn’t make you feel gross and heavy after. More like someone’s grandmother just cooked her famous recipe for you and then wrapped you in a warm blanket and told you that you’re beautiful. Really, it was that good. I will absolutely eat here again during my short trip to Phoenix. Photo could be better since I stopped after several bites to leave a rave review :)

We have been enjoying this amazing restaurant for many years, and drive from central Phoenix because this is the best Szechuan food in town. We love the boiled fish in oil, which is made with Szechuan peppers and has a lot of delicious Chinese vegetables. We also enjoy the Szechuan style spicy fish, which is fried with the Szechuan peppers. The green beans are great, and so are the potatoes. They’re open late too, so if you didn’t have time for dinner before the show, you can come over here after.

Foods is amazing!!!!! Everything is good! Everytime we go there, we never got disappointed!!!!! Service was amazing too! Foods came out so fast! But if u come in the dinner time in the weekend, it’s kinda busy and you might need longer time to wait to have a seat. And i took my friends to go there last week and they all were so satisfied!!!! If you look for the Szechuan foods, YOU MUST GO TO OLD TOWN TASTE!!! Trust me, it’s so good! And the good thing is only 3 mins away from our house 😁 Now i know where to take my family or friends to eat in AZ!

Ordered spicy beef, dry pot ribs, spicy crispy fish and fry noodles. The food generally quite salty. Fish and rib are flavorful. Beef is over cooked, hard to chew, also gamey (not fresh). Stir fried noodle is the worst dish we ordered. Salty no flavor at all.

Such a fun menu. Great friendly service. Love the variety of food and the fact that there are safer dishes for the folks that aren’t as adventurous. We love the cumin lamb and the spicy fish. Scallion pancakes are the best!

The food here is really delicious. Everything was fresh and had a lot of authentic flavor. The servers were also really nice and restaurant was clean.

I just moved to Arizona this month, and seriously, I'm already back for a second time! They have such delicious, spicy food that hits all the right notes. You absolutely HAVE to try the Mapo Tofu—it's my favorite and a total winner!!!

First impression walking in the food smells great and the restaurant is very clean. Food portions are enormous for the price and taste is on point. Great stop if you’re in the area! For an example of size I’ll include the “small” soup I ordered.

The best food and great whiskey selections. The carne asada Philly is my favorite and the wings are great too. Plenty of local brews on tap as well.

LOVED it! Went on a little date here and this place was perfect for it. It is a small joint, but the we had no trouble getting a place to sit outside. The wings were crispy and delicious 🤤 also thoroughly enjoyed the jalapeño cheese curds and the patty melt. If you’re a bourbon lover, this is your place! I’ll definitely be making my way back next time I’m in AZ!

River gave phenomenal service and made sure I was satisfied by giving me a replacement drink after receiving a beer I didn't want. He went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied even post purchase. For my first time, I'm impressed by the agility and service 👏

Awesome spot to enjoy maybe one of the best burgers and sandwiches in Arizona. Great whiskey and bourbon selection as well. They also carry The American Whiskey and The American Barrel Strength, which are local to AZ! The people are very service minded and attentive. Highly recommend and have been recommending to several. Looking forward to coming back multiple times!

We stopped in here for lunch after a day of golfing. The burgers, onion rings and home fries did not disappoint. The buns were soft, the meat was fresh and everything was seasoned very well.

So we are new to the area…but This place felt like home. It is casual and friendly. Honestly, Destiny is our bartender and takes great care of us every time we come here! The food is really good. We love the dry rub wings with sauce habanero and fluff all on the side with ranch. The bar has an extensive variety of whiskey. The burgers are smash burger style and delicious. We’ve had the salads and they are good as well. Small and casual with great music (you can control) just come and hangout…you won’t be sorry. We’ve been here a ton…and are loyal customers!

Had a few different menu items here and all were amazing, habenero hot wings and pastrami burger have been my favorites so far. They have a great menu and great selection of alcohol and chips and salsa are fantastic as well.

Small but beautiful restaurant with a lovely style and amicable staff. It was a bit busy but luckily we were able to get a table and our dishes came quickly after ordering. The food was 10/10- went with some friends and we got the Khao Moo Dang, drunken noodles, pad see ew, and curry noodles, and everything was delicious! I personally got the Khao Moo Dang and the skewers were tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, and the side sauce had a nice kick. Will definitely be going back again!

Sala Thai is worth the drive and the wait (if there is one). I’ve eaten at tons of Thai places across the Valley and dang does Ming and his team know what they’re doing. The service is attentive, warm, and always friendly. Their small space is beautifully decorated, intimate and welcoming of both small and larger parties. Their food though, WOW. I’ve been here probably 5 times now and it is consistently amazing every single time. Their curries, noodle dishes, skewers and street food are exceptional. Believe the other reviews! Thank you to Ming and his team for serving us time and time again, we love visiting!

I’ve been to Sala Thai a few times now and every visit just confirms why it’s one of my favorite spots. The food is consistently excellent my go-to dishes are the tom yum, their rich curries, drunken noodles, and the crab omelette. Everything always tastes fresh and well-prepared. The staff and owners are incredibly welcoming and kind which makes the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself is tidy and well-kept, so you can really enjoy your meal in a comfortable space. They recently did a fun collaboration for their dessert, and it was a nice touch that showed they put creativity and care into their menu. I’d recommend Sala Thai to anyone, you can’t go wrong at any of their locations. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving great Thai food.

Super cute decor and cozy, but small with limited seating. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Thai Tea was delicious. Garlic wings had a bit too much bread to offset the chicken and barely tasted chicken. Would have stuck with the skewers and the chili sauce, which was very yummy. Pad Thai was good, but stir fried noodles so had some crunchy areas which I don't love in my noodles.

We were looking for a Thai restaurant to celebrate my birthday and stumbled upon this spot in Tempe near Broadway. It’s easy to find, and when we walked in, the place looked cute as a button — cozy, limited seating, with couches and chairs that gave it more of a café vibe. While the couches were comfortable, they weren’t the most practical for dining. The ambiance felt fresh and modern, and the menu was surprisingly extensive — covering appetizers, stir-fries, curries, noodles, rice, and specialties. For starters, we tried the chicken satay and shrimp tempura. The chicken satay was delicious — nicely grilled, juicy, and full of flavor. The shrimp tempura, however, was a letdown. It lacked flavor and came off a bit too bland. For mains, we ordered the Khao Soi (curry noodles) and Suki Hang. Presentation was excellent and thoughtfully done. The curry noodles, though, were just okay — the coconut-based curry was overpowering and felt more like sipping straight curry than enjoying a balanced noodle dish. The Suki Hang was good, but overall the food leaned more modern and Americanized than authentic Thai. We ended with mango sticky rice. The mango was fresh and generously portioned, but the sticky rice was average compared to other versions I’ve had. Overall, it’s a nice spot with reasonable prices, but not the most authentic Thai experience. I’d come back for a light bite, maybe a salad, but as a whole it was an average experience.

Came in yesterday and had phenomenal service & top tier food (as always). First, I really do appreciate even when it gets busy, the service is always attentive. Yesterday she was patient, informative and so kind! Her service is consistent across the board! The food is on point every single time i come in there! Thank you Sala Thai for having such an amazing team.

Incredible meal!! Seriously one of the best meals I’ve had. Got the pad thai and Khao Soi and both were amazing. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!!

The food is a 4/5 and the atmosphere is a 5/5 for a small space. The bread appetizer comes with lots of slices and a hearty portion of butter to choose from. Being 100% honest my wife and I were not massive fans of any of the butters. Having a plain whipped butter would have been nice. The tomato butter was too overpowering and the tomato flavor was too pronounced, the truffle butter leaned a little too heavy on the truffle front leading to an awkward flavor balance, and the lemon butter was my personal favorite but it could possibly be better with a stronger lemon flavor. The Brutus salad was a very large portion for a very fair price. The cheese chunks were a little too large and would be better if smaller or more chopper up. My wife wanted to replace the mustard vinaigrette with the apple vinaigrette and I actually think it paired better with the apples (we tried a side of the mustard vinaigrette). The steak and fries were a solid portion for the price. I ordered the steak medium rare but the steak came out closer to well done or medium-welldone. Hopefully it was just a slight error. I think the fries were a very unique shape (very square and large) but we're a little over salted. All in all I would consider going back. My wife and I both don't drink so we only care for food. I want to give extensive feedback in hopes it helps the bar.

Easily a 10 out of 10. I found every aspect of dining here thoroughly enjoyable and can't wait to come back. The staff was super friendly and the ambience is very cozy. We grabbed drinks at the bar once before but this was the first time getting food and it was all fantastic. Started with a few appetizers. The calamari had this great Calabria chili dipping sauce I could've drank and the bone marrow came with a chimichurri I was dipping bread in to make sure no went to waste. The gnocchi bolognese was the main course and it comes family style. Very delicious. Moved on to dessert and was pleasantly surprised by the dessert cocktail options. We tried the Mint Condition and I can't remember the other one but it was limoncello and pistachio liquor and I loved it. The ricotta cake was so good I didn't want to share. 😀

Ate here with my family and it was super delicious. The interior is neat, unique, and very cozy. It’s a small place. Drinks were fun, but most of their beers they say are on draft actually aren’t for some reason. Food was tasty and savory! Ordered the meatballs as an appetizer, the lamb flatbread, and ricotta cake for dessert. I honestly did not expect the flatbread to be as delicious as it was! Probably the best I’ve had in a while. Try the ricotta cake, it sounds weird but it’s soooo worth it! All in all, I would def come back here! Nice place if you’re ever in the neighborhood but it is a little pricey.

Oh mio dio! I have often joked with friends and family that I must have been Italian in one of my past lives because the amount of noodles I can pack away is staggering. Cream sauce, marinara, pesto, a classic cacio e pepe... It doesn't matter. Put noodz in front of me and watch me blush coyingly before devouring it. It's been a while since I've been excited about a new place but this place had me all a-flutter. I had a Lost In Tokyo, Fritto Misto, Polpette, and the Lamb Flatbread. Here's the breakdown: Lost In Tokyo ($16 - lemon washed japanese gin, plum sake, yuzu, egg white, cream, citrus): Any time an egg white foam is included on a drink, expect to wait. Such a delightful drink. Cheers, Yelpers. Fritto Misto ($16 - fried calamari, shrimp, capers, olives, fried lemon, romesco sauce, calabrian aioli): The fried lemon had me looking like the heart-eyes emoji. And can we talk about the lemony marinara that they serve on the side? It's so perfect in flavor that no fresh lemon was in sight. I love how confident they are about how you will love this fritto misto. Absolutely one of the best fried calamari dishes I've had. Give me the salty little bites of caperes and olives. YUM. Polpette ($12 - pork & beef meatballs, marinara, straticella cheese, basil, parmesan): Okay, I got to be real, these balls are FIRM. Like, you could use them as stress balls. I know not everybody is a fan of poaching meatballs in sauce to get them more tender but I think that would help. Just my opinion! Lamb Flatbread ($15): I felt like I stole Lamb Chop from Shari Lewis (RIP, queen) and gave that cute lamb a big ol' lick. It's a very gamey lamb and while staggering, it's not off-putting if you like lamb. I will say, ONLY get it if you like lamb. As for the flatbread they used, wow. Love it. I know they serve Noble bread here and I'm curious if the flatbread is Noble too because wow! Love that flatbread! Salted Caramel Gelato ($8): Mama mia! What a way to cap off a meal. It's savory-sweet and oh so decadent. It's quite delicious. I want to come back ASAP and try the Cacio Pepe Flatbread and Carbonara Flatbread. This is a cozier spot so expect having to scream at your dining companions. I recommend getting a reservation to come here as well.

Results may vary. My friend and I had a very mixed experience here, but other tables near us seemed to have a fine time. Somehow they managed to burn every single piece of toast. They were nice enough to take it off the bill, but it still felt weird that they bothered to bring it to the table at all. The flatbread was underproved and undercooked and burnt all at once. While the pesto pasta was heavy on the garlic. So if you're going to fight vampires in the evening highly recommend. Can say that the blood orange spritz was good.

Had been hearing lots of good things about this new place and decided on very short notice to check it out. So glad we did. Small place with a friendly vibe and very nicely appointed. Immediate comfort kicked in. Service was excellent. Food was also excellent. Enjoyed flat iron steak and my beautiful bride the Fusilli. Both were just right as well as the Caesar salad and fried Calamari. Added a bottle of Hatcher wine, finished with gelato and left VERY satisfied. Will definitely be part of the word of mouth group, and very definitely returning soon!

The atmosphere and vibe here are great, but I don’t recommend for vegetarians. I really wish there was a vegetarian friendly pasta option, but they all have meat in them unfortunately. I honestly probably won’t return unless they add a vegetarian pasta option since there are other really great Italian restaurants in south Tempe with more inclusive options. I know they have the cauliflower steak, but it doesn’t qualify for the $35 pasta & wine deal (I was told by whoever runs their Instagram account that it does qualify but then when I got there my server said it actually has to be a pasta dish…so vegetarians are disqualified from this deal unfortunately). Plus, that’s honestly kind of a lackluster vegetarian option. I obviously love vegetables but I don’t want to go to an Italian restaurant and my only option that I can eat is literally just a head of grilled cauliflower with sauce for $16.

Fantastic BBQ! Was searching for a place I could bring my father in law to that served ribs and chances upon this place. We enjoyed it immensely! The beef ribs and the pulled pork were excellent! Have to add that the Sausage was also great. My father in law remarked, "can we come back here again before we leave?" And he's hard to please 😅 we enjoyed the pecan pie as well. Shout out to the friendly staff! We felt very welcome

The location we went to was awesome! The staff was very nice and friendly!! We were given samples of their brisket, Texas beans and their creamy jalapeño cheese grits which were all amazing!!! Can't wait to go back! Side note, it is pretty pricey but man was the food amazing!!!

Visit Date: 11/20/25 After hearing and reading so many great things about Little Miss BBQ, I decided to take the drive out with some of my friends to finally give it a try - and we certainly weren’t disappointed! Although pricy, the quality of the meat expertise of the pit masters were apparent. I ordered the two meat plate with brisket, pork ribs, beans, grits and also added a sausage. Although I’m not normally a fan of beans or grits, both of these sides were excellent and flavorful - honestly making me rethink my opinions on both! The ribs were tender, but not overly tender which sometimes happens when they’re overcooked. The brisket was extremely tender and well seasoned - and paired excellently with their house bbq sauce. The sausage was delicious albeit slightly dry, but I still enjoyed it a lot. The service here was superb. Although ordering at a small counter, the employees were extremely kind and helpful with an amazing attitude… which is not something you always see at restaurants. It definitely gave us a great first impression which was then drilled in with the quality of the good. One other thing I’d like to note was display of smokers that they had out front - very impressive and it made the whole seating area smell so good! Overall, I would definitely recommend this BBQ joint if you’re looking to splurge for something authentic and delicious! My friends and I will definitely be back.

I wanted to give 5 starts but just not quite perfect! The brisket is legit the most tender and juicy brisket on the planet! Good seasoning too. Ribs melted and I mean melted off the bone! Sausage was legit. LOVED the bbq sauce and sweet mustard! Staff was SO NICE!! No, we didn't have to wait in line because we went an hour ahead of time just in case haha and we were first! The only negatives to me is the price, portions for the price and the sides were just ok. I get the quality of the meat is amazing so that is why it's expensive but then ya need to give me the same energy with those sides and LOAD them up! My hubby loved the beans and I thought they were ok.., I needed sweetness but that's just a personal opinion. Coleslaw was decent but could have had more flavor and the potato salad I thought was good! Just really small side portions for the price. All in all so worth it for the meat!

As a tourist from Calgary, Canada - this is the best BBQ I’ve ever had!! The setup, the operation - absolutely amazing. If you’re in Phoenix - hit this place up! Keep up the great work 👍👌

We have been wanting to try their Beef Ribs multiple times, but they either ran out or closed. Seriously, just like what the other reviewers had pointed out. We finally made it there early enough to secure some beef ribs this time. Line was long and partial shade was provided. We got to sample the house made sausages while we were waiting in line. The sausage was really tasty except that it was way too salty, IMO. We finally got inside and and order 1 rib, about 1 1/4 lbs. then someone in front of us ordered the pork belly, it looked so good so we couldn’t resist and order some too. Beef Ribs: delicious, fall off the bone tender. I don’t think I have ever such tender and flavorful beef ribs, ever. Pork Belly- it was really yummy except a little dry for me, and a little too salty. On the pricy side. $37/lb. Sides: Beans- way too salty Grits- way too salty Banana Pudding- too sweet for me I would go back for the Beef Ribs anytime. The only thing this can really improve is the logistics of where the igloo water. If you need ice water when dining in, you got to get out of the buildings and head over to the lines and get water. 1 cup max because you will need to use the other hand to open the door to get back in.

I was fortunate to show up on a Thursday which is when pastrami is featured. And I love pastrami. The staff could not have been friendlier and kind. We had a brief wait outside but it was shaded and we were eventually welcomed inside to the cool air conditioning to order our food. Seeding is limited on the inside so we had to sit outside. I went with the pastrami sandwich and it was delicious. I will share, If I am going to pay over $20 for a sandwich then a healthier bread option should be available. 4 stars.

Excellent experience, wonderful service, perfectly prepared food, Excellent options, great drinks and romantic atmosphere. It's a dining experience and highly recommend you let the chef do their thing! Octopus perfectly charred and flavorful. Branding was delicious. Desserts where perfectly size and beautiful presentation. Really can't say enough positive about Virtu. Perfect experience and we'll worth it!!

Our dinner at Virtù Honest Craft started with a small mix-up — the wrong dish was brought out on my wife’s birthday. The staff immediately owned it, apologized sincerely, and went above and beyond by comping both plates. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a cozy, romantic atmosphere that feels special the moment you walk in. We ordered the crudo, asparagi, anatra, and manzo — every dish was incredible, full of layered flavors and beautifully presented. Despite the initial hiccup, we left impressed and grateful for the way they turned things around.

Service was fantastic, food was very fresh and delicious, the octopus and steak were the best, couldn't quite figure out the flavor for the scallops. The cocktails were also fantastic. Great ambiance in a nice little tucked in square.

The asparagus dish is what put the chef on the map they told me and I highly recommend it because it was absolutely over the top delicious. Pork chops were perfectly cooked, the fish was clean and super crispy. And both the sticky coffee pudding and the butterscotch pudding are things I'll remember forever. Beautiful setting and great service. Photos will not do this restaurant justice, you just need to come here and at least try the asparagus and two desserts. Also dog friendly!

Virtu is typically a special occasion spot for my wife and I. The drinks are amazing, the food is immaculate, and other restaurants can learn a thing or two about service from these guys. The ribeye is always delicious and typically a staple when we do go. The octopus and bufala were also hits when we go. I will say this, my wife was sad to see the ice queen had been taken off the drink menu, but our bartender actually whipped it up for her! That was a really cool move on her part, but I'd recommend putting it back in rotation! Who would have thought black pepper in a cocktail would be so good?!

This is a fun restaurant that changes it's menu often. We did a chefs choice 5 course and we couldn't have been happier. The taste contrasts were amazing.

Food tasted great and was well presented overall. The combination of flavors was incredible and the overall ambience made the night more enjoyable.

This was a great brunch place in Tempe Downtown. It is crazy busy on weekends and you generally have to wait. The banana granola crunch pancakes and chikichanga are really good. They don't have any other kind of coffee other than black coffee but you can have something from the juice options

This place was incredible. Loved the server, Austin, super friendly, great food, etc. we love coming here every year for Christmas Eve breakfast. It never disappoints. This year we were surprised with free pickles for take home and deserts. Our favorites. Thanks again for another great year.

Such a cute place. When they say their portions are big... they’re not lying. I can never finish my plate! They have so many options on their menu so it takes a solid minute for you to pick what to order. I do love their pastries and bagels. The service is great and the people working are always tentative and nice.

I'm in and out of town several times a year visiting family who lives here. I can't come to town without stopping at Chompies, even if it's a short visit. I 'm a vegetarian and appreciate the variety of options for me to eat here. I love the omelet meals because it's really 2 meals in one. I can't imagine anyone finishing it all in one sitting! The bagels are amazing and the selection of bakery items will leave you dizzy trying to decide which one you want. Nothing is bad here. Portions are generous and I have never had a bad experience. The staff is always awesome. Be sure to sign up for their rewards program and earn points for $5 off. Points add up pretty fast too!

I do like their food. The corned beef is so amazing. I recommend it serious. The breakfast was great as far as pancakes went but those eggs and turkey sausage need to be of better quality. Smoked white fish sandwich it was very good. I liked the potato cakes as well.

Love eating here!! There is so much to choose from & they have gluten free options!! My favorite is the potato cakes!! There gluten free!!😁 My friend had the matzo ball soup! It was so good if you like Italian soups!! Also the white Mac & cheese & chicken with gravy was yummy the biscuits where dry though! 😏

I came here on a recommendation from my friend. Very easy accessible location. In addition, ample parking was present. Inside, it was very clean. The server we had was very friendly. Food was very hot and full of flavor. I had the pierogis as my meal (normally an appetizer). I was very happy with this experience and plan to be back next time to try out the breakfast food.

Lovely spot in Scottsdale. Tucked away in a little courtyard, I sat on the patio and enjoyed the asparagus with tzatziki and the lamb dumplings. Both were light, perfectly balanced - in fact, just perfect. I finished off with their butterscotch pudding which is apparently a permanent fixture on the menu. They also have great local wines, and the service was quick and attentive. This is great food and wine, so in my view it’s reasonably priced. Thanks for a lovely evening, FnB. 😊✨

This restaurant is absolutely wonderful and well worth the visit! We booked a reservation (which requires a deposit) but our flight was delayed. We called and they were so kind and accommodating for us. We were very glad we were able to make it work because the food and service was phenomenal. We ordered the green salad, potato buns with duck fat, and pork chops with seasonal squash. Every bite was full of flavor and the pork chop was the most tender pork chop I’ve ever had. This restaurant is a must stop for your next Scottsdale visit!

FnB is truly amazing, it deserves to be Michelin rated. The food is so creative and made with such high quality, consistently across all dishes. The vegetable-forward cuisine is completely unique, with incredible blends of flavors that pull from different influences but clearly have a very distinctive style of Chef Charleen Badman. The care to balance flavor, visual, and texture is honestly second to none, and we eat out a lot! It is artistry, and the intimate but easy ambience has made every visit a memorable experience. The entire staff is engaging and very competent, this restaurant hits on all cylinders.

Food is surprisingly nice. Especially like the source for the carrot which blended very well with the nuts. Egg plant and Okra are also tasting great. Okra matched very well with curry. It is because Pork has been sold out tonight, it has been changed to steak. Wao, the steak was amazing. Appreciated alot the vegetable portion in each dish. This restaurant really serves good food!

First meal in Phoenix, just astonishing. Local crops mix with new flavours, the taste is so new and amazing. We 3 ordered 4dishes of veggies, 3dishes of meat, and 2 dessert, I chose to not recommend any dish solely, cuz the menu are changing monthly. All I can say all 9 of my order are truly amazing. Even better than some of the Michelin 3stars’ Issac keep checking on us, making sure the flow won’t be too fast, Washroom are clean, paper handkerchief in good quality, shampoo is aromatic P.S. the ginger beer(non-alcoholic) is just so good, as a ginger beer guy, this is the best ginger beer iml

Cant believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. Absolutely phenomenal. If you're in town you have to go! I can't say enough great things. Veggie forward menu with some meat options as well. I promise you've never had vegetables prepared this well. The staff is great, HEY MILES, and people seem to like working here which you don't always see. The menu changes often so I won't comment on what we had but every time we come to town we visit and it has all been delicious. Easily the best restaurant in town and one of my favorites in the whole country! Go now, stop reading and treat yourself!

Nice spot. Farm >> Table menu. Great drinks. Nice dinner spot with my bride.

My hubby brought me here for a late night dinner, it was a nice atmosphere and the workers were so friendly and welcoming. Our server Ethan was amazing and was kind enough to go over the menu and had good insight on what to recommend. The food was delicious and the bacon wrapped scallops were a first time for me and definitely did not disappoint.

The Keg was a great restaurant to celebrate a special event! My wife & I went to ‘The Keg’ to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The reason why chose this restaurant was actually due to seeing it on ads while watching NHL games that take place in Canada. We always joked about it & we decided to take the next step to try it out after years of seeing it. If anything, we were surprised to see a location in Arizona. When we arrived, we were greeted by their staff. They congratulated us on our wedding anniversary, which was nice of them to do. I recommend having a reservation as there can be a wait. We waited about 5-7 minutes with a reservation. The groups who arrived without a reservation waited much longer. When we were seated, we were asked if we were celebrating any special occasion. The funny thing was that we were asked that same question by 3 other staff members over the night. We could tell that this is the type of restaurant that many go to for a special occasion. Our server, Noah, was great. He was attentive & helped us guide through the menu. It happened to be ‘Arizona Restaurant Week’ when we dined in, so we decided to take up their offer on the 3 course meal. We both got Caesar salads to start & they were delicious. The fresh bread that was brought to the table was incredible. I could have eaten 2 more loafs myself. The whipped butter paired well. I decided to try the blueberry lemonade. It was refreshing, but it is a bit sweet. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for a tart drink. The main entire that I ordered was the prime rib with a twice baked potato. The twice baked potato was tasty & paired well with the prime rib. I thought my prime rib was excellent. I ordered it medium rare & it was spot on. My wife ordered a sirloin with blue cheese & roasted vegetables. She enjoyed her meal as well. The only thing I would say is that the actual plating of the meal was a bit messy. It was all over the place & for the price of the meal, it looks sloppy. I personally do not mind as long as the flavor is there, but I know many would be upset over that. We both had desserts & I personally loved the sauce on the cheesecake. We thought ‘Billy Miner Pie’ was the star of the desserts. The fireside old fashioned was good. It’s really sweet, but that’s to be expected. We learned that if you go there for an anniversary, they’ll provide you with a free toast of champagne. This was a great perk. The champagne was solid. We really appreciated that. Overall, we really enjoyed ‘The Keg’. It was about $75 per person, but we thought it was worth the price for a special occasion. The staff were great & welcoming. We recommend stopping in if you are looking to celebrate a special occasion.

Had dinner here for our anniversary and we loved this place. Food was amazing and customer service was great. The atmosphere was very nice, romantic, and cozy. We had delicious warm bread and butter while we waited for our orders, such as the Salad, Lobster tail meal and steak. They also gave us a huge slice of delicious Oreo/caramel ice cream cake for free and $10 off our check which was very very nice of them. Truly appreciated! They definitely get a 10/10 for their service. We highly recommend this restaurant for your special occasions.

Amazing experience here! My friend came for the crème brûlée but the menu looked so amazing we had to get something other than dessert! The bread is also amazingly delicious I wanted to take some home! The service was remarkable and fast! Our waitress give me a free millers pie and it rocked my world! Compliments to the chef fr! AMAZING

My boyfriend is from Canada. When we walked in here for dinner he goes “this smells like home”. We love this place because it is more fancy than an Outback but not as fancy as a super fancy steakhouse. Everything was cooked to perfection.

Just OK. I don’t know why we go here anymore. Even on our free entree Bday dinners. Our salads were good but the entrees arrived 2 min after the salads. Poor timing. Two of us ordered the sirloins. Mine was the seasonal special blue cheese butter sirloin. I had to spit out every 3rd bite from tendon/gristle? I had a pile of little pulverized bits on the side of my plate when finished along with 2 larger cuts that I didn’t even try to eat. The veg medley is always the same it seems but ok. For some reason the keg now uses small water glasses, maybe 6oz. We had to continuously ask for water refills. We talked after the meal and when grilling at home we would ever buy sirloin. We thought maybe the keg might have better beef so it would be fine…. we were wrong. One of us did order the NY strip and it was well prepared. It made our order even more disappointing. So when you come here don’t order the inferior meat cuts or save your money and grill at home. Even if you have the Bday bogo free. I would recommend coming for the happy hour menu on meals. The server did ask at the start if there were any allergies. Very polite staff.

The food was delicious, service was great. Steven was our waiter and he was friendly and new the menu.

I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen and it was delicious. The broth was flavorful and creamy. I also enjoyed the sushi which was incredibly fresh tasting. The staff is nice and the atmosphere is well decorated. I would definitely recommend this spot for delicious Japanese food. The sushi is a must.

Cute place. Service excellent. Had a good time. Food was okay. Some was cold in the middle. Did remake. The crab was over cooked. Took it off the bill. Will come again.

Okay, I'm just going to say this. This Kabuki and this location happens to be one of my favorite sushi locations in the entire world LOL. I don't know what it is, I don't know how that is possible but it just is. Their Alaskan salmon roll is absolutely gorgeous. I order that and only that from the specific location. I don't know what it is but this location constantly delivers good quality and succulent sushi. My partner had a shrimp tempura roll which was also spectacular. The service was pretty good as well and the atmosphere reminds me of my old college undergrad days. A very true gem close to my heart and I have always loved him from the day they opened.

Pretty authentic food for AZ. I got the tempura soba, but -1 star because there was only one shrimp in the tempura, and there was just too little tempura items. The soup was good but the noodles aren’t true soba noodles, it was some sort of yellow noodle. The wait staff were also obviously too busy/working too many tables.

"Kabuki" is a form of Japanese theater known for elaborate makeup and costume for high drama. It is very appropriate, then, that this restaurant is also dramatically deceptive -- bear with me! As you walk in you'll find an elegant dining experience with high ceilings and breathtaking decorations. So you think "I'm going to spend a lot of money on not much food here! Is there a dress code?!" But in reality, the Kabuki food is very reasonably priced. The menu items promise and deliver elevated cuisine. The atmosphere is come-as-you-are informality. This reviewer enjoys ordering from the "small plates" section because you can find a variety of tastes to sample different things. Two of those small plates could constitute a meal for you. If you've been to a Spanish-style tapas bar, you'll know! Last night, this reviewer met the hostess -- her name begins with "Br..." to complement her braided hair -- and was promptly seated; no wait on a Monday evening. Sarah was the server, and in our experience, with every visit, the servers are friendly, helpful and efficient! This was no exception and soon the drinks were served. This reviewer greatly enjoyed the premium mint lemonade because Tempe is hot in Mid-November! Fried Gyoza and Seaweed Salad rounded out the meal, and there was enough left over to go. There was plenty of seating for you that night; these Tempe Marketplace eateries have immense capacity for crowds. We always enjoy visiting the restroom here too, because they're a little bit darker, matching elegance of the dining area, clean and maintained. Good accessible stalls for your wheelchair or disabilities. This reviewer doesn't often have favorites, but Kabuki has won our heart as the best place for a refresh-recharge while practicing "retail therapy" at the mall! Thank you all! Konnichiwa and domo arigato!

I haven't visited this place for a long while. The food and its portion were decent; the price was reasonable. Good for family.

There were 23 of us from Payson Az. We had fantastic service. The food was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for better service than this. I had the tempura shrimp and vegetables.

The reason I put one star because there is no negative star. I was loyal customer and I ordered 3lbs of shrimp yesterday as carry out, I want show my friend who came out of the town to visiting me that this is my favorite food. I guess they finally found someone to get rid off their garbage shrimp. All the shrimps have black stain on it and it tasted totally mushy.I show up in the store next day with those pictures and ask for re-fund. Store said unless I come home and bring those grease stuff back, i am on my own, no apologies at all. I live 45 mins away and this is ridiculous. For people who is going to order carry out, CHECK THE FOOD when they bring it to you, or just don’t go this place unless you like mushy black stain shrimp

I order take out today. The craw fish was good but the shrimps were disgusting. They had black stains and were very mushy. Due to the shrimps being mushy they were very hard to eat. The shrimp was very unpleasant so we only had a few and threw the rest away.

My first time there and I must say I was disappointed. Slooow service. The shrimp was not easy to peel. They don't bring all the food at once. Very simple and plain menu. Not a lot of options. Angry crab is better. Oh and the bathrooms were disgusting!

i hadn’t been here in a few years, but i used to love the shrimp basket. came back for po boy day and it was super fresh and tasty.

I don’t even like making review but since I spent over 300$and got sick ….Amazing service amazing food been coming here since I was little but then they gave me and my family food poisoning 2 days ago I recommend being careful and cautious with there food wont be going back for sure very sad about it.

Food was amazing loved loved loved the sauce my corn came in.. Can't wait to go back the shrimp was yummy and the corn fritters were perfect !! Only complaint is our waitress didn't seem to really wanna wait on anyone and almost seemed annoyed when asked for anything but the other waiter was awesome wish we would have had him. I enjoy having friendly people to interact with :)

I always went here from 2018-2023, but something has been going on where the food quality is not the same. With seafood boils rising in popularity, hot n juicy is not keeping up with the competition. Shrimps are not deveined, there’s barely any sauce and nothing is included in your order (unless you order 2lbs of something, which even then is 1 potato and 1 corn). Whatever, I paid for two potatoes and I got the smallest potatoes ever that were finished with one bite. Not worth $1.50 each. Corn was small, also not worth the price. And sausage was 6 which was too little for the price they’re at. The taste was alright, not the worst but definitely nothing special. It should not cost $38 for 1lb of shrimp, 2 potatoes, 1 corn, 1 egg and 6 slices of sausage. Very disappointed. I will stop eating here and go to literally any other seafood restaurant like Pier 88 that is not nickel and diming me for everything.

I had the beef cheese steak sandwich with cheese wiz add jalapeño and onion. It was delicious it’s a build your own cheese steak place. Everything was good the staff is friendly and the food is inexpensive.

After getting a suggestion on Reddit we tried this place and we were very glad we did. The cheesesteak sub was amazing. After moving here from the Northeast I have been in search for a good place to get a steak-n-cheese sub and finally found it. I’ll never understand why nobody out here wants pickles on their subs, but besides that the sub was amazing as well as their fries and chicken tenders. Thanks! Will be back for sure!!!!!

Third time trying this place. First time at this location. Every steak sandwich at both locations, no matter the cheese or add ons, has this weird how a wet dish towel smells flavor. Staff is consistently flippant and too caught up in their own conversations to do anything other than yell out an order number. The fries are good.

2nd time I give them a chance; this time was a charm. Yummy juicy and tasty this time, also crunchy yummy fries

5+Stars. Yes it’s pricey. But worth every cent. The quality of the chicken and beef are tops, bread is solid. And those amazing very crispy fries. Food came out fast. Super clean counters. Seating was adequate plus they have outdoors which is on the shady side of the building for those hot days. I’ll be back soon!

The Philly Cheesesteak cannot be beat. Absolutely delicious and they made it super fast. Absolutely delicious

Great cheesesteak, the steak was tender as opposed to chewy. I really enjoyed the bread, great texture and it tasted fresh, which I loved. The person who took our order was very friendly and didn't make us feel rushed as it was our first time. They did not pressure us and answered all of our questions, which was helpful. It was a bit of a drive for us, but we'd return.

This is probably the worst Japanese food I’ve ever had. The sashimi wasn’t fresh, lacking the firm texture and rich flavor I expected. The miso soup tasted like something out of a cup noodle packet, watered down and lacking depth. The sake bomb was certainly an experience, but not in a good way—the flavors just didn’t blend well. That said, the service was excellent. The staff was attentive and friendly, which made the overall experience more pleasant. Despite the disappointing food, I still left a tip to appreciate their great service.

Zu Izakaya in Tempe is a mixed bag - great food, good vibes, but a not-so-great surprise: the infamous "Large Party Tax". I mean, 20% extra on a table of 4+? That's like telling friends not to come with you 😐. The Fried Sushi was a highlight (crispy, perfection!) with crab and jalapeños, and the egg roll was deliciously flaky. Chicken Karage was so good that we ended up ordering twice. Tofu was great as well. However, the veggie gyoza was a letdown - dry and oily. Server was knowledgeable and friendly, but that tax still stings 🤑. Ambiance was lively. Overall, 3/5 stars - good food, but that tax is a major drawback. Would I go back? Yeah, for the Fried Sushi 🤤.

My husband and I had a date night here and it was incredible! We ordered two apps - cheesy spam katsu, and vegetable tempura. The spam dish was delicious and the dipping sauce with it was perfect. I told my husband that the next time I drink, I will be craving that! The vegetable tempura was perfectly crispy as well. Then we got the grilled eel and gyoza hotpot. The hotpot is MASSIVE! I asked for some chili oil and the server also brought me some spicy powder which made the hotpot even better. The eel was well prepared, too! All that and two sodas under $80 seemed like a great deal to us. We cannot wait to return!

Went for the first a couple of nights ago with 40 min of happy hour left, and we were in and out in less than an hour. Everything came out quickly, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere was so chill. Definitely recommend! We got two sushi rolls, spam musubi, two sake bombs from happy hour, and the bulgogi, and our total was $60 with some bulgogi leftover.

Our server Annacey was the best. A lot of fun and got us what we needed quickly. Kudos to the kitchen for backing her up with some of the best sushi we’ve had in a while. Definitely recommend if you’re in Tempe looking for a good atmosphere at a great price.

i love this place it’s my favorite i always order takeout and dine in! only con it’s so dumb to charge for spicy mayo $1.10 for this little container bro it makes me so mad like just get bigger containers or make it free please i beg

Seriously, I can't say enough good things about this place—it’s an absolute local gem! The food is consistently 10/10, and their happy hour, along with the reverse happy hour, is seriously decent. A huge bonus for me is that they even have -196! The service is always on point—friendly, quick, and just generally great. I just wish they'd open for lunch, like the North Scottsdale location does. That would make it perfect!"

This restaurant was one of the most impressive I’ve been to in AZ. The chef elevates flavor on a level I’ve rarely experienced. The drinks were fantastic. The papas verdes was excellent. I didn’t know potatoes could be made to taste that good. The karaage (a Japanese style of fried chicken) was fantastic and I preferred the flavor to what I’ve eaten in Japan! The salmon tacos were delectable. I was so impressed with the drinks, apps, and main that I ordered the banana bread dessert and I don’t like banana bread! The dessert with the peanut butter mousse was fantastic. Will definitely add this to our favorite places.

Finally made it to Vecina and wow, the food did not disappoint. I had the Happy Hour Margarita and the Skirt Steak Tacos, both were absolute standouts. The margarita was crisp and refreshing, and the tacos? Chef’s kiss. Perfectly seasoned steak, bold flavors, and a beautiful presentation that made it feel like more than just happy hour bites. The atmosphere was stylish but relaxed, and the service kept pace with the vibe, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Only reason it’s not a full five stars? Just saving that for my next visit when I dive deeper into the menu. If the rest is anything like those tacos, I’ll be upgrading soon.

Overall, the food was pretty good. The empanada was just okay, but the other dishes were quite flavorful and interesting. The short ribs in the white bean puree was particularly noteworthy (the puree was basically hummus, but the meat was delicious). The spicy margarita was mediocre - too much straight up SWEET which overshadowed the subtleties of the other flavors. They have some interesting and unusual red wines which we really liked. The chairs are not particularly comfortable, and our waitress (shoulder length blonde hair) was unsettlingly bubbly. Not in a "wow she sure is cheerful" sorta way, but like "wow, this is a complete charade, she's not actually attempting to connect with me, and I wonder what her actual speaking voice sounds like" sorta way. A very disconcerting social interaction.

This restaurant blew me away; the food here was exceptionally cooked, with quality ingredients. I ordered the limited edition chefs tasting course, and the food was exquisite! You can tell the chef/cook cares about flavor profiles, and incorporates different notes for a well balanced plate. The photos don’t do it justice!! The only thing I’d improve is the seating… felt like casual seating with a high price tag.

Just order everything and share. White bean puree - yes! Salsa Trio - Absolutely, the habanero is delicious. Karaage - YUM! Papas Verde - please! Haramasa Ceviche - when done, pick up the dish and drink the Leche de Tigre. Ask for the Gluten Free menu is you need it!

My partner and I overall had a fantastic experience at Vecina! I would suggest sticking with their tacos in terms of entrees. We have tried all their taco dishes which are fantastic. This time we tried the harissa collar which we did not like and felt was bland. The dessert (banana bread with peanut butter ice cream) is a CAN’T miss! Also great wine and cocktail selection!

It is honestly a toss up of what we enjoyed more…the delicious/creative food or our experience with Blake and friends. From the moment we arrived and were welcomed at the bar (by Blake’s roommate no less!) and introduced to the food experience, it was a delight! Blake made great suggestions off the menu and paced the shared plates at a leisurely pace so that we could relax and thoroughly enjoy the delicious flavors! Certainly the fried banana bread and peanut butter mousse is not to be skipped! Thank you for a fabulous night…until next time!! ❤️

Singh Meadows in Tempe is a beautifully tranquil farmers market experience tucked into neighborhood green space. The fresh produce selections feel local and high quality, crisp greens, colorful fruits, artisan items, and the café side complements perfectly with vegetarian dishes and fresh juices. The ambiance is serene, with outdoor seating near water features and plenty of shade, making it more than just shopping, it’s a peaceful morning out. Whether I’m there for groceries, a juice, or just the vibe, Singh Meadows always delivers a warm, nourishing experience

Remember you're paying for the atmosphere when you order your food. I'm not going to lie, it's pricey but also delicious. Hummus plate: $10.95 gets 1/2 cup hummus, 5 cherry tomatoes, 4 broccoli florets, 4 cauliflower florets, 4 cut up radishes, 1 sliced small carrot & 1 small sliced pita. Very fresh and organic. Breakfast chibatta $9.95 plus I added 1 thick slice bacon for $2.50 but wasn't there supposed to be cheese and avocado? Large coffee: $5.40. 3x3x3 piece of oatmeal cake. $5 plus tax. Maybe I'm just out of touch after being away from restaurants this last year because I thought everything was overpriced. Maybe it's just me. Very peaceful and relaxing except I could have done without the music. I'll be going back when it's cooler (hey owner if you're reading this... install some overhead fans) and when I have deeper pockets.

Poor garden soil quality. Needed to rebuild my garden and wanted to use Singh Meadows mulch and soil. The soil was 90% river silt and nothing grew in it for two seasons now. The small amount of organic material was used to color the silt. Ended up digging up and replacing with a different provider. Alot of time and money wasted. If you want productive garden do not use.

Beautiful place. Great produce and price! Lines are a bit long and they only have one register is the only down fall. I was going to go back and grab a jar of honey before leaving but the line was too long.

This is the place to be on the weekends, farmers market, so you have all your fresh veggies for the week, they also have a grill for breakfast/lunch foods, plus fresh baked breads, homemade golden honey, pickles, fresh juices and teas and a ton of other goodies. The space outside opens up TO a HUGE grassy area, with a pond and an area for volleyball. Bring a blanket enjoy the birds, the sun and enjoy the weekend and Singh Meadows.

This place is wonderful, and the best use of an old golf course I have seen. It is beautiful, the staff are friendly, and there is a mellow atmosphere. We brought our dog this past weekend, and it was great for our morning walk. Also, since we’ve had so many monsoons lately, the wash that borders it looked like a river.

What a great spot! The amount of space to let littles run around and play is amazing. There is a pond and ducks to help entertain. If you don’t get there early, expect a line. Food is decent but I was disappointed that the menu online is nothing like what is actually offered. Only two food options were available in addition to pastries. Either way, worth the visit!

Nice little dive bar, went on a Wednesday during happy hour 3-7. Cheap drinks, cheap food and great service! My son ordered wings with crab seasoning fries and loved the wings!! Bartender did an awesome job running the place all by herself. We played pool and darts— enjoyed ourselves!!

Cool little spot to hang out at, came here Saturday. Just need to fix the lottery machine. Bartender was super friendly. Updated review - love this place!! The vibe.

Love this dive bar!! The tangy chicken wings are def my favourite!! And I love the spicy ghost tequila for the Mexican candy shots!!! Staff is always friendly they have a fun wed night comedy night too!!

I literally only had fries here, but the service and the food like the fries that I had and the drinks were so good. The bartender Todd was just out of this world. His service was fantastic. We had a friend that got a little over tipsy and he was more than accustomed to helping her and making her feel comfortable and making sure that she got home safe so we really just wanna thank Todd for everything that he did for us tonight And Todd was I mean kind of a Dad like I mean a guy kinda cute according mo my friends Thanks todd! :)))

I had an amazing double bacon cheeseburger at Casey's Woodshed Bar. The burger was cooked perfectly, featuring a thick and real patty that was juicy and flavorful. The crinkle-cut fries were also cooked to perfection, complementing the burger wonderfully. Whether you're coming to drink, or looking for food to go I'd say the Woodshed is the spot.

Came here on 9/7/25 with my dad to have some beers and hang out ! We enjoyed our time at Woodshed it’s on our dives top shelf the staff was cool and the one girl cleaning the tables and working alongside the bartender that day went above and beyond with service food was typical bar food the inside was stepping into the 1970s but overall great atmosphere!

My new favorite place! The vibe and Decor are awesome. The bartender Todd, was cool as hell. The patrons were also cool af . The food was great and and everything was delicious. The wings are amazing by the way and fried zucchini was spot on. The drinks were great and it was difficult to leave! You should definitely check this place out!

Beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere! The food wasn't very good. I'd give the food a 2. Had to return the fajitas as is was overdosed with salt. Steak Fundito was just okay, and the steak in it was slightly overcooked. The Aunt Cheladas margarita was awesome! Very pricy with below average food. Excellent service and atmosphere!

Great Mexican food! So fresh and flavorful! The fajitas are amazing! The chimichangas are huge! Great drinks and superb service. Indoor and outdoor seating, or sit at the bar. Leave room for the frozen ice cream!

Fantastic food! Almost everything I had was great! The nachos were awesome! I love queso and shredded cheese mixed on my nachos and I like that they shredded the chicken instead of just chunks. The flour tortilla chips were great with the salsa. The elote had a bit too much lime for my taste and the sopapillas weren't my favorite. But, everything else was great!

It is October in Phoenix and this is a great patio to enjoy dinner on. The weather and the food are perfect. Highly recommend the flight of margarita. The flight has 3 different margaritas and each one is a full sized on the rocks drink. Three of us at the table perfect way to order, then get extra straws for sampling the other flavors.

The food was really good. I got the chimichanga asada with jalapeno cream cheese and the side of fresh cut jalapenos. The service was alright. When you go there you're waiting for a while. But all in all it's a very good place to go to. Atmosphere was amazing nice little place to go eat. First time I've ever been to a Mexican restaurant that plays country music. 🤣🌮💯

Stopped on our way out of Phoenix for lunch. Their was about 8 of us and the service was awesome. I ordered the Fajitas and it was great. My grandkids had grilled cheese and the waitress even brought out some toys for the kids to occupy their time. She was so awesome and was on top of everything by making sure the food was good, our drinks were refilled besides the many other customers she was serving she did not forget about us. Would definitely recommend.

First time trying Aunt Chilada’s was amazing! We were truly impressed with the delicious food, accommodating service, and delightful atmosphere. There was plenty of parking and when we arrived, and we were seated very quickly. We stopped in just 40 minutes til’ closing and hesitated, as we didn’t know if we’d be able to be serviced so late, but they treated us remarkably well!🥰 They start you off with crispy and warm tortilla chips plus two kinds of salsas-1 mild, 1 spicy(both were really good). We then ordered the house made guac- it was very tasty and fresh. For our entrees, we both decided on the specialty enchiladas. This platter is huge!! It comes with one asada, one chicken, and one cheese enchilada (with your choice of red, green, or Christmas salsas on top). Also comes with a side of rice, beans, guac, lettuce, & sour cream. It was $20 per platter, & very well worth it. Had plenty of leftovers too. Hubby liked the tamarind Margarita, and we had a great time dining here. Our server attended us with a kind smile and she made the experience all the better!🤓 5🌟

We stopped at this property in the weekend and was crowded, do we decide to make it later in the following week. We popped in on the last hour of service hours and luckily was crowded in the outdoor seating area only. We were hosted and served professionally. We had Big Rig and Oregano Pesto pizza. The food was tasty however I give the Rigatoni an extra point. This property is highly recommended if you're into Italian cuisine.

Wow amazing food,ambiance, friendly atmosphere. My new favorite place for pasta and wings,plenty of seating and the interior is so cool the parking is in the rear part of the lot and the seating is inside and patio dining is available.

Although I do feel Oregano’s uses the word “huge” a bit too liberally on their menu, I will admit that the portions were more than enough to satisfy. They serve Italian dishes that make you feel like you’re enjoying a home-cooked meal. We went here after spending the day at the ER and this meal could not have hit the spot any better.

The holy guaca-tony is so good! And a HUGE portion. Loved the Alfredo the dark, seasoned perfectly. The husband loved his dish, too, but I don't remember what it was. Went back a second time, and it was just as good. The prickly pear margarita is delicious. Not too sweet and strong! Wish it had a salted rim, but I'm sure I could have asked for it. Went back a year later and everything was even better than I remembered. Jayson was a fantastic server!

This place is lovely, from the food to the service . From just walking in the people were friendly and the service was top tier. I sat outside to eat and the birds were chirping and light jazz was playing giving the atmosphere a peaceful and calm feel. Our waiter Esmeralda was kinda and attentive. The taste of the food was DELICIOUS AND ON POINT and the portions were excellent. I got the Ragin Cajun Pasta. All in all, a great place and I would come back here the next time I’m in Arizona. I rate this 10/10 because it exceeds my expectations, thank you.

1st time here and it was amazing. Excellent food and drinks. Fun atmosphere. Staff super friendly. And thier chicken cesar salad and Italian wedding soup was fantastic!! Friends from Michigan who will surely be back!

This is the best of the best. You would think you are in a small area of italy eating at a cool grandma's house and family restaurant. Great music and quiet setting. Both inside and outside seating. Service is Amazing and well spread out seating. Bird are flying around and easy parking. Great menu and lunch specials. Peroni on tap. Medium priced. Very clean. Highest recommendation. If I could, I would give 6 stars.

Everything here is good not great. Never been here before but the smells brought us in. Hostess was friendly but awkward. Waiter was nice but talked really softly. Got the deviled eggs and pulled pork nachos. Creative take on the eggs and were really good. Nachos were pretty unspectacular. Again, everything was good but just not great.

I am truthfully very biased coming from Texas, but this BBQ was just alright at best. They made a very big fuss about how long they slow cook the meat and how flavorful and amazing it is. But our brisket was dry and overcooked, and the ribs were greasy and bland (we got both the pork & spare ribs). It's definitely not the worst BBQ I've had, especially this far into the desert, but I would NOT pay the price that we paid for this meal and I would not recommend it. The sugar-covered biscuits were pretty good though. Additionally, they messed up our bill pretty awkwardly after we had already paid. A party member ordered a combo meal for two that came with a dessert, but for some reason, the restaurant had to ring up the items separately instead of paying as one big chunk. This led to the dessert item being left off the bill, meaning the waitress came back after the bill had already been paid with a NEW bill that also needed to be paid (giving us a $125 bill after the $115 one, instead of just giving a separate $10 bill or better yet, including the dessert price in the original meal item cost). I don't know if that makes sense or is confusing, but we were all equally as confused. To top it off, after all that fiasco, they forgot our to-go dessert (that came with the meal) and we had to wait a while for it to come out. The poor waitress was so apologetic. All that being said, the staff here were incredible. Our waitress was very sweet and highly attentive. She helped us find the perfect menu items for our party and was on top of requests left and right. She did her best to help us have a good time, and worked very hard to try and correct the bill fiasco. I wouldn't come back here since I live near better, cheaper, more easily accessible BBQ, but if this is all that's around you, then just stick to the cheap menu items.

Still my favorite BBQ chain anywhere and they proved me feelings correct once again! The beef ribs are what keeps me coming back as they are huge and delicious and can't find need ribs like these anywhere. And their spicy BBQ sauce is so good I had to buy another bottle to take back to NM with me along with extra ribs - I just wish I had bought two bottles as half is already gone. The grilled corn on the cob is amazing, but fair warning, it does come with cotija cheese on it, which I was not aware of as it didn't before, so if you don't want that, be sure to mention it. But they were kind enough to being out a new pair for me without it, so no harm no foul and kuddos to the manager for that! Love this place and def will return next time I'm in Phoenix!

I have been here many times was slightly disappointed on the street corn traditional street corn has sauce and cheese and tajin etc. the grilled taste severely over powered the actual taste of the corn. The burnt ends were not crispy and was more soft fat. Part of the meat that was in it was good. The brisket was amazing and the salmon was good and the mac n cheese. Biscuits and butter to die for.

Always a consistent experience. I eat here a few times a year maybe. It really doesn't chnage. The food is always great and the service is always amazing, staff is very friendly and attentive.

Great beef ribs and brisket enough for two! Awesome service from Daniel! Messy but extremely good food! Hot towels too!

The atmosphere is nice the servers were wonderful. I had an issue with my chicken being dry then the second piece was undercooked. I still enjoyed my meal the pulled chicken was great. They have an area out front where you can just 😌 relax.
