We ordered pizza, burritos, nachos, charcuterie, boards, and excellent libations!“

“Wow this spot is simply darling!! My car wouldn't start and while waiting for a tow I popped in and had a crepe and a coffee. Both were absolutely delicious.

“I was visiting from Iowa and had the fried chicken and ribs special. Everything was delicious! Our waitress was great too! Will definitely come back if I'm in the area!“

“Even without sampling the food on this latest visit, it’s clear why this place remains one of the area’s most consistently buzzing destinations. The energy alone tells the story—tables filled, glasses clinking, and a steady rhythm of conversation that signals a spot beloved by locals and visitors alike. The drinks program continues to impress. Wines are well-selected, offering both dependable varietals and intriguing pours for those who enjoy exploring beyond the usual. Cocktails are balanced and thoughtfully executed—nothing overwrought, just smartly made and enjoyable. Service matches the standard: efficient, friendly, and tuned in without hovering. The only recurring frustration lies in the seating—finding a comfortable spot, especially with a party larger than two, can feel like winning a small lottery. Still, once seated, it’s easy to see why so many linger well into the evening. Bottom Line: A go-to destination for happy hour and casual wine gatherings. Excellent drinks, a convivial crowd, and lively ambiance—just be prepared to wait a bit for that perfect table. Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) – Exceptional drinks and atmosphere; minor seating woes keep it from perfection.“

“Such a cute brunch spot! Pastries are amazing and the food is delicious! Specialty coffees are so cute and wonderful selection. My go to spot for sure!“

Parking: Lots of spots

Kid-friendliness: Small popcorn bin tray thing

“Friendly, delicious and timely. I love this place!“

“Wicked Seafood & Meats is an awesome place to get fresh fish and other meat. The friendly staff and quality of the products makes it worthwhile even if it's out of your way! One of the few places you can buy fresh Grouper. So glad we found this place!“

“Great meatballs for an appetizer. Tried the Quattro Stagioni pie. Napolitana style pizza. They do have a Sicilian as well. My pie was pretty good. It did need crushed red pepper to being the zing. Cocktails from the bar. I would return to try other items and would recommend checking Patricia's Pizza out.“

“Hey hi ooo uh hi r go ouo I vhi hi Gus“

“We had an absolutely fantastic lunch at JJ’s Deli in Scottsdale! I ordered the pastrami Reuben, and it was outstanding—tender, flavorful pastrami, perfectly grilled rye, and just the right balance of sauerkraut and cheese. Suzanne had the roast beef sandwich with sauerkraut, and it was every bit as delicious.

The portions were more than ample and easily large enough to share. Everything tasted fresh, generous, and full of flavor. This is exactly what you hope for from a great neighborhood deli, and JJ’s definitely delivered. We will absolutely be back!“

“Very delicious! I ordered delivery and everything was packaged so well. I got the Korean taco and two shrimp tacos. I only have 1 “critique” and it’s not even their fault- the option to add a boozy libation to the taco combo is not working on their website, caviar or DoorDash. But that’s a tech issue and not at all reflective of them because even when I called, I think his name was Justin- he tried so hard to help me. But it’s okay cause I will be dining in person to get my drink in the future 😊 Great food and customer service, you can tell they really care about the people!“

“We had a wonderful Sunday Brunch. The French toast and breakfast burrito were super. Someone in our party said the chicken fried chicken was the best she'd ever had. Service was friendly and efficient. Nicely done. we'll be back soon.“

“Best Steelers bar in the world!“

“Swan Sushi has a very comfortable dining area with a nice combination of booths and tables. Our Server was friendly and provided just the right amount of attention and service. The food was delicious and all of it would be re-ordered again at a future date. We highly recommend Swan Sushi for anyone looking for delicious food and great service in a comfortable and clean setting- we'll be back again in the future!“

“Sean prater owner of A 360 view window cleaning and bartender at Harold’s carol is a pedophile! Charged in 00 months with sexual exploitation of a minor!“

“Great service with an amazing staff. Food was above and beyond our expectations. please ignore the negative Nancy reviews, some people just cannot stand seeing people succeed while they fail in their own lives.“

“Emily Made the Difference! It’s rare that I write a restaurant review, but this experience deserves recognition. The food was very good and beautifully presented, and the warm ambiance made it a place you want to stay and enjoy. Ellie was exceptional—not once, but twice! Her professionalism, friendliness, and genuine hospitality made all the difference and are the reason I’ll be coming back. Employees like Emily build customer loyalty and drive business. Management has a real star in her! The bar tender could use some improvement, so I’d recommend sticking with beer or wine. Thankfully, Emily more than made up for it. Outstanding service, a welcoming atmosphere, and a memorable experience. Thank you, Emily.“

“Great good! Emma was the Best! Great live music, listening to Arizona Ave.“

“We moved to the area over a year ago, and we are still finding little, hidden gem restaurants like Nick's Italian at Pima & Pinnacle. We had lunch there today; eggplant parmesan with fettuccine Alfredo and a bbq chicken pizza and they were both excellent. We ordered off the lunch menu, and portions were super generous (even brought some home). Our server Miguel was awesome...warm, friendly, efficient, kind and helpful. We cannot wait to go back!“

“This has become one of my favorite local places to eat. 1) Breakfast all day! 2) The food is ALWAYS fresh and prepared well 3) The staff are very friendly and professional.“

“Love the Caramelizer and the rebels.“

“Food was great and so was the service“

“Love the Friday night entertainment!!“

“Amazing service from the hostess to the waitresses and the food there is made with a love and flavor i havent had before! Take a trip and pay your compliments to the chef! This restaurant is amazing!!! i would highly recommend the ragin cajun chicken“

“Very disappointed yesterday. Been coming here fo years but this time food wasn't up to par. My hard shell taco was sitting in a pool of enchalada sauce so it was soggy. And the spinach enchalada sauce was really to salty to enjoy. All the other diners with me had street tacos and they were fine.“

“fresh food everyday, polite on point service“

“This is my favorite Starbucks location. The early morning employees are friendly and always take extra effort to ensure that my drink is correct and made with care. While the location on Pima is more of a direct route to work I go out of my way to come to this location.“

“We hadn’t been here for a while, and as with almost all other restaurants, the prices have increased fairly dramatically. They still have one basket of free chips and salsa and both were really good. We especially like the flour chips. We ordered the quesadilla Cobb salad and the nachos.

Both presentations were great and the nachos were huge. Way more than one person could eat. The Cobb salad was good, but maybe 1/4 of the bacon and chicken was chewy to inedible. The nachos had lots of chicken, cheese and refried beans and were very good. Diced tomatoes, diced jalapeños, sour cream, and guacamole were sprinkled on top.

The service was good and we recommend giving it a try.“

“Great service and food! Definitely recommend!“
