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

“This is quite a special spot for us. They have delicious crepes (both savory and sweet) as well as pre-made grab and go items. The coffee is delicious and features a blend from the local Cave Creek Roastery. Sign up for their texts and you will frequently get offers for discounts and freebies.

We like to go and order a savory crepe each and then later order a sweet crepe to share. They will split it onto two plates for us. We have tried their breakfast crepe, and their ham and cheddar crepe and enjoyed both. This last trip, we tried their special Hatch green chile crepe and found it to be wonderful. Just the right amount of heat. Our favorite sweet is the lemon curd crepe.

The folks taking orders and cooking are the best. We would eat here more if we didn’t live a long drive away.“

“food was delicious the location is very well decorated and everything looks so upscale decorated. the best part was our service we received from Linda hands down the best server we have encountered in quite a while. she was so nice very pleasant and great service all around. you have a customer for life and will recomend her and the Restaurant with all my friends and family“

“Everything was top notch from the chili corn bread, beans, smoked wings and brisket! Definitely will be back.“

“Best food in Cave Creek! Definitely recommend the Navajo Taco!“

“Such a wonderful little gem of a bread bakery. Always smells so good when you walk in. Fresh bread, sandwiches and cookies. I bought some of the banana bread a few days ago. It was so good. Just like my grandma used to to make me. 😊“

“Jamie, the gal from the gift shop was so nice!!! She seriously was the kindest person there!! Guy in kitchen was a bit grumpy but the food was superb!!!“

“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!“

“Patricia’s Pizza doesn't just feel like a restaurant; it feels like a neighborhood institution in the making. Whether you are looking for a lively weekend dinner with friends on the patio enjoying live music, a casual family night out, or a spot with a phenomenal daily happy hour at the bar, it hits every single note effortlessly. It has officially earned its place on the shortlist of the Valley's best Italian gems.“

“I forgot how damn good JJ’s Deli is. My wife and I used to live in North Scottsdale and this place was a staple for us. Came back for a weekend visit and grabbed breakfast this morning. Order was ready before I even showed up, service was great, and the food was every bit as good as I remembered.

We’ve had great breakfast spots in both Los Angeles and Dallas, and JJ’s still holds its own with any of them. Just solid all around. One of the best breakfast spots I know and an easy recommendation.“

“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!“

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

“Best Steelers bar in the world!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Located a mile from the Four Seasons Scottsdale, there aren’t a lot of good options around Troon. SWAN delivers excellent and fresh sushi. Owned by a Japanese couple, they maintain excellent standards and prices are more than fair.

Full bar and Sapporo on draft for $7.

Nice outdoor terrace with plenty of heaters.

Overall, excellent sushi restaurant with other options including miso black cod, noodles and chicken.“

“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.“

“Had a decent experience at Nick's last evening. Food and service were good.

One comment re the bartender: evidently he/she does not know what a Vodka Gimlet is. The drink we received did not have the required Rose's Sweetened Lime Juice in the drink. It had an over abundance ofime juice, so much so the drink was excessively tart. Only by adding Triple Sec was the drink made drinkable.

Suggest the bartender look up how to make a Vodka Gimlet in the bar's mixology book.“

“Great service and excellent food“

“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“

“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.“

“Went there for an early lunch. Sat on the outside bar, weather was great. Ordered the normal boss margarita and it was ok, almost too bitter. Tried the jalapeño inferno margarita next and it was significantly better. Ordered the small cheese crisp and it was a little overcooked. I should've had them add the green chilis to it. Had the taco/burrito combo. Good flavor/quality. Service was good. Chips and salsa were good as well. Good overall experience, will likely return when im in the area again.“

“My wife and I visited Ofrenda for the first time and got hooked. I had the skirt steak and my wife had the shrimp chile relleno. The food was outstanding! Made with such delicacy. The margaritas are perfect! We had the Cadillac and Jamaiquina! WOW! Delicious!

We now make it an effort to visit every time we are in town.“

“Love the Caramelizer and the rebels.“

“Great service and food! Definitely recommend!“

“This is our go to spot! Sunday's has all day happy hour that cannot be beat. Make sure to try the barbacoa tacos, they are out of this world! Aubry and Tim always take such good care of us and it's why we are becoming regulars! Got to even meet the owner this morning and she and her partner are lovely.“

“fresh food everyday, polite on point service“
