Restaurants in Mesa

“I judge a coffee shop based on a whole milk plain latte. I like to taste the latte for the notes in the espresso shot. A lot of shops don't dial in the espresso shots or the baristas stop caring because they don't think the customer can tell the difference. My latte was good, slightly caramel with accents of cocoa and nuts. It wasn't the best shot I have ever had but better then 95% of the shops I have been to around Phoenix. The chocolate croissant was really good too. I look forward to going back for my next cup.”

“Great Food & i enjoy it verry well”

“The food is incredible. What a hidden gem! Will be back again and again.”

I also tried the loaded fries (asada) and corn quesadilla (asada)
ALL AROUND FIRE
even the salsas they had were noteworthy

I'd definitely recommend the taco spot

?? ??”

“The food and service was absolutely amazing! We had the tacos, the b.l.a.t. and the island pork. Only one person in the group has a gluten allergy, and no one could not tell that the food was gluten free at all. I appreciate how much care went into the meals and how much attention the customers received, it was as if I walked into a friends home. We will definitely be back!”

“We went to Sam & Luca’s for my mother’s birthday. Absolutely amazing service. Our server was very knowledgeable, very quick with refills and kind.

The specials this evening were perfection, everyone loved their dinner and the desserts were top notched. Amazing atmosphere and very clean on the inside. Can’t wait to go back soon!”

“Food is unbelievable. A hidden gem in Arizona's wasteland of restaurants.”

“Of all the Chinese restaurants in Mesa, I have never enjoyed my dinner as much as I loved Happy Kitchen. Lived here for years, tried them all, this one is a 5 star restaurant. Come hungry, you will rave about the service and the food. A 5 star restaurant.”

“Today I ordered from Bobby Qs for the first time and enjoyed the meal (celebrating my mom's birthday). I ordered half-slab baby backs, roasted corn, baked potatoes, and nachos. The meat literally fell off the bone, which I loved. It was nice and tender and not overdone. Could have used a little bit more bbq sauce. The baked potato and roasted corn sides were delicious. The nachos were ok. Not bad, but I probably would not order them again. Overall, I was pleased with the order and will return in the future.”

“Have you ever eaten Nacho's only to get down to the bottom and you only have chips left! Not here they layer the Chicken Nachos and we actually had chicken left when we were done. Go during Happy Hour only $9.00 a meal in themselves. Pair it with one of there beers and you've got dinner! Great food no matter what you order.”

“Amazing food, amazing service! Will absolutely be back!! And a little music to go with dinner on the weekends was a nice surprise.”

“I literally did a happy dance after every bite!!! I ordered the cheese pizza and chicken carbonara, they were both so delicious!! The cheese pizza was thin, cheesy and perfect, I would say this is my favorite cheese pizza in the state so far. The carbonara was delicious, I added crushed red pepper to mine, because I love some heat!! The garlic bread dipped in Alfredo sauce from here, I swear I’d have it as my last meal, it was that delicious!!! Everything my family has tried for here was fantastic!!”

“Best lunch restaurant in North Mesa. Good salads and sandwiches, great place for business lunch or lunch with a friend/relative. Just have to find it hidden in a business park!”

“This has been my go to spot since middle school for Authentic Japanese style food in the valley. The service - food quality - and prices have all stayed very consistent and honest for the last 20+ years I've been coming!

I used to drive out to Tempe for their last Kyoto Bowl location, but I have to say. It doesn't hold a candle to Yoko.

If you are curious - definitely try it! You will be back with friends.”

“Bartenders always great at helping the perfect beer”

“Came in a few weeks ago, I forgot to write my review, I was with a few friends , I was so happy the place is very clean, it was a bit busy , we were seated right away our server Michelle, was amazing she suggested some dishes for us , I had the meaty melt on the bread that they serve it on it is amazing, it was cooked to perfection, my friend had a Lumberjack, he raved about his eggs he had them poached, the food was hot and didnt take long at all, Michelle was very helpful and sweet, I definetly recommend”

“Very clean store. Friendly staff. Quickly greeted and seated. I will definitely return.”

“We love our neighborhood Denny’s! Always friendly servers! And great tasting food! Sara’s the best!”

“Always a good place for an authentic huge burrito, whether it's a breakfast burrito or a classic Carne asada burrito or a shredded chicken chimichanga, this is the place to go! It's made fresh and it's hot hot and it's a giant son of a gun for sure! They also have really good horchata, better than most places I've tried!! You can hit the drive thru or you can walk up to the window and sit and eat at their covered tables!”

“This was the first time I ate at a Waffle House. I have always heard bad stories about the food. It was actually pretty good, although the atmosphere was less to be desired.”

“Such friendly, efficient staff! The Waffle House is always a pleasant experience.”

“Who ever is dinging this Dennys is for lack of a better term an @sshat. I take my soon here. We ride the motorcycle here. I eat at the counter alone. I read my book the servers are awesome ! Always greeted by the manager. He is the best. My local little spot. Someday the after church spot ! These days its the train alone eat alone spot !”

“I enjoyed the Birria and el pastor tacos that I ordered and I also appreciate the great customer service! I want to specifically acknowledge Dalan for allowing me to taste the Jamaica and horchata before purchasing. I also want to thank the manager Sarai for taking empty tray and Mani on my second visit for giving me recommendations.”

“I love filiBs! My only concern was that in 2yrs the price went up from $6.50 to $9. For an AZ burrito with guac. And that I don't have a filibertos in Austin TX. Make it Happen!”

“The last time for me to eat in IHOP again I saw the server take jelly off of peoples plates that she cleaned off from the table and the ones that were on opened. She put them back with the rest of the jelly I ordered regular pancakes came out they came out with lemon, something and whip cream on them. I just like regular pancakes she said I thought you asked for that I didn’t ask for it but everything was cold service was crappy at all. It’s like a freak, so it is so never again I’m done with IHOP.”

“Employees are so incredibly patient and kind, they always decorate for the holidays and it's adorable!

Kid-friendliness: They have a selection of coloring books and crayons always available! :)”

“I hadn't been to Whataburger since I moved out of Texas and only recently discovered there were some here in Phoenix/Mesa. The burger was really good but I thought the fries, while plentiful for a medium, were soggy. Cashier was very helpful and friendly. Place was doing pretty good business and was patroned by a wide range of ages.”

“Pigged out. There is a large menu. Fast and yummy.

Parking: No speed bumps or table ramps.

Wheelchair accessibility: You can wheelie all around if you choose.”

“I have been in search of a fresh, delicious fish taco in the valley!! My partner and I went here for the first time and were super happy with the food, service and quality. I had the grilled fish tacos, he had a burrito and we both enjoyed our horchata. We’ll definitely be back to try out the breakfast and other items on the menu. Super happy to find a local spot with delicious Mexican food and great service ?”

Great food and great service!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently had the pleasure of being served by Jacob at Red White and Brew, and I can confidently say that if you’re lucky enough to have him as your server, you’re in for a real treat! His level of service is a rarity these days—attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring about your dining experience. Jacob went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, making us feel valued and welcomed. We definitely need more people like him in the service industry! Highly recommend dining here and asking for Jacob!”

“To see these guys at a brick and mortar is freakin AWESOME. Had them a few times from their trailer, which was amazing. Glad to see the quality is still top notch!”

“The productis very good ,BUT the poorest operation management! This is the second time I drove 20 miles to their store to find they were closed, on a Tues! The first time I arrived they were sold out. They have lost me as a customer”

“As someone who grew up in Canton, I was surprised to have had such good Cantonese/HongKongese food here at such good prices.

The noodles dishes have the option to get flat rice noodles instead, which is a huge plus (most Chinese places probably only offer spaghetti or wheat noodles). The servers were also very attentive and nice even though they could tell we were not from Hong Kong.”

“Excellent sushi and sashimi. Had the unagi and toro and both cuts were fabulous. Good gyoza, the right temperature. Kyoto roll was tasty. Traditional rainbow roll was good, firecracker roll was excellently presented and flavor and flavor was perfect, lollipop rolls were a good finish and texture. Everything was very fresh and no flavors were overwhelming. Topped it off with lychee ice cream. Definitely will return.”

“This is the ONLY place to find authentic Hawaiian plate lunches in the Phoenix area, and likely way beyond. Humble atmosphere, incredibly fresh and tasty food, friendly and helpful staff. The Kuala pork is to die for. Do not skip this amazing restaurant!”

“Stopped in with my wife tonight for the first time, our server was personable and attentive. We even got a chance to chat with the owner, she was so friendly and made us feel very welcomed. Highly recommend, we’ll be back often.”

“The owners here are just the most kind!!! Their food is delicious and their homemade tea and lemonade is top notch! For sure would come again just to say hi to the owner!”

“I recently visited *Pura Vida Grinds*, and it quickly became my favorite coffee spot in town. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by the warm and inviting atmosphere curated by their manager, Robert Lobo. His attention to detail and commitment to quality are evident in every aspect of the shop. The seating area is absolutely charming—a cozy nook with comfortable chairs and a relaxed ambiance that makes it the perfect spot to unwind. Whether you're catching up with friends or enjoying some quiet time with a book, the setting is ideal for any occasion. But the real star of the show is the coffee. *Pura Vida Grinds* offers an incredible selection of coffee imported from Costa Rica. Each cup is brewed to perfection, delivering rich, complex flavors that are simply unmatched. I tried their house blend and was blown away by its smooth, robust taste. Robert's passion for coffee shines through in every cup, and his friendly demeanor makes the experience even more enjoyable. He takes the time to chat with customers and ensure everyone feels right at home. Overall, *Pura Vida Grinds* is a gem. With its cute, relaxing area and outstanding coffee, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a moment of peace and exceptional quality. I highly recommend stopping by for a visit—you won't be disappointed.”

So my public service announcement for today is go see Marissa and enjoy some amazing cinnamon rolls ❤️great friendly service where you feel appreciated! Best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had..and plant based..I don’t know specifically how that works out healthier as I don’t have a lot of knowledge about that ..but they sure make me happy and that’s 1000% good for health always!”

“I cannot express how grateful I am to Callie for her outstanding service and support! From the very beginning, she was attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to meet my needs. Her deep knowledge and warm, approachable demeanor made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.

What sets Callie apart is her genuine care and attention to detail. She consistently made sure I felt heard and valued, offering personalized advice that truly made a difference. Every interaction with her was positive, leaving me confident that I was in great hands.

Thank you, Callie, for your exceptional service! Your hard work and dedication did not go unnoticed, and I am incredibly thankful for all that you did. I highly recommend coming to this location and asking for her. She’d genuinely someone who truly cares and delivers top-notch service.”

“Chris, his dad and I had wonderful lunch from In-N-Out Burger”

“Good fries and burgers! Fast service! Good management!!!!!”

“This place is nice. The service is sometimes slow and often missed but the food is really good.
The buffalo sauce is quite nice and the salad sizes are good.

Would recommend going to this place, just have to input all of your order and sides when you first order because in the last 3 times we have gone, service doesn't inquire if there is anything else or has checked on us. Assuming it is server food, then eventually the check.
There was a time we waiting so long for the check and to pay that we considered just leaving. Took the plates but didn't give the check.
Not much of a negative, just something to note.”

“Our favorite burgers in AZ!”

“Gorgeous/charming girls who provide amazing customer service... Unreal. It didn't take long to get my drink, but I'd have gladly sat there for an hour... They're like way friendly I don't touch grass as often as I should and I didn't struggle talking to them at all. ??? ”

“great food, great atmosphere, little outdoor dining area. served on real plates, great service, beautiful art paintings we love it here”

“Good coffee and great people. we especially love their manager, she is fantastic and kind.”

“Amazing cake. My son really wanted a Tres leches cake. So many to choose from that I was a little overwhelmed. I don't speak Spanish so we just sorted of pointed and nodded. Lady that helped me was very patient. Huge hit at the party.

Parking: That area seems pretty busy. When I arrived there were no parking spots but one freed up in 15 minutes or so”

“The specials are where Andy's shines! Can be pricy at times, but the service and fun with friends can make it more than worth it. They are quick on their orders, and never fail to hit the marks.

Parking: Large lots on either side, roughly 40-50 spots.”

“Best taco spot in chandler right now”

“Simple menu and the food is stellar.”

“Accidentally dropped our burritos in the drive through because I did not expect the sheer mass. Despite the fact that they fell like boulders, they were so structurally sound that no integrity was lost on impact. They even offered to either make us new ones or free burritos next time around.Great burrito, great value and breakfast burritos all day long.”

“SO GOOD!!!! Everything is good, but their Bean Burrito is better than El Charro's used to taste like (even back when Freddy used to make them fresh every day). Cute little place-formerly Dad's Doghouse-and a real gem!!!!!!”

“Shawn our server was very attentive and quick about getting our food and refills. Wonderful atmosphere very relaxing. A++++ the woodfire vegetable salad was amazing and the La’bach pesto & spinach pizza. Highly recommend this restaurant.”

“First time here & we were completely satisfied & The burgers are ginormous & delicious!”

“The best real mexican food, my wife and I went today and we got Chicken Mole & Green Cheese Enchiladas. Pretty flavorsome!!”

“Visiting from WA. We like to try non-chain eateries. You did not disappoint. Awesome friendly staff and attentive service. The best restaurant fried chicken I have ever had. Reminded me of my Daddy's fried chicken.”

“I arrived and within 5 minutes of ordering, my food was ready. Their portions are large. I ordered the medium bucket with meatballs , garlic bread, and tiramisu for dessert.. Wow! So delicious! I recommend this business and I will definitely be back!”

“We went with our 2 sons, granddaughter, and grandson after having dinner in early August 2024 about 8pm. The small walkway was very cramped and hot. BUT,......The ice cream was amazing! The service was fast and very friendly. We'd go back, but maybe when it cools down a bit.
~”

“Cute little gem tucked away. The staff was friendly and considerate. The food was delicious. The portions are extremely generous - recommend sharing the entrées/plates! Highly recommend.”

“This is a wonderful place to hang out with friends to enjoy some drinks and board games. The owner is an amazing human bing. It’s definitely a great place to visit! Highly recommended!”

“Delicious! Best horchata in AZ!!”

“If you like boba, craft tea this is your spot . Very pleasing and delightful . I order orange mimosa and son ordered the Earl grey milk tea w/ signature boba. This is the spot. Come by. Very popular . Meeting up with my daughter and her friend / fam.”

“Even though they were super busy, we were greeted and seated quickly, everyone was so pleasant! The food was fantastic, our server checked in just enough to make sure we were taken care of and not hovering, she always had a smile on her face. The music is on, but not so loud you can't hear yourself think like some places. Conversations were easily held, without needing to shout. All in all, a great place to have a delicious breakfast. We will definitely return next trip!”

“You don't need to go to a Fancy Mexican Restaurant to to Fabulous food. This was better then any restraunt I've been in in 18 years. Fair prices, great menu, great food,fast service.”

“Reminds me of food I used to get on base at MCAS Iwakuni Japan, not far from Nagasaki.”

“great good and Very friendly and helpful staff!! Highly recommend, will definitely return!!”

“This is one of my favorite places to get coffee in Mesa, AZ. Beyond the great food and coffee, Murphy the owner is wonderful. As an internationally known touring musician, i am blessed to perform here with my daughter. 2 years off the road due to covid, Buddha's Brew Coffee Cafe is where i chose to play my first "come back show".”

“I’ve been going to Blue Adobe for more than 15++ years when a boss took me there for lunch. It is as delicious now as it was then. The food is consistent and tasty. Great New Mexican cuisine. You can’t go wrong, I’ve never had a bad dish here. I recommend the Stacked Enchiladas “Christmas Style” with a fried egg or Yesterday’s Meatloaf. You’ll leave feeling full. It’s the “stick to your ribs” kind of food.”
