50 Best American Restaurants in Mesa

“Ate here on a Sunday morning. The staff was super friendly and made sure we were happy with our food. The food was super fresh and some of the best chicken around. The carne asada burrito was huge and so good. We got the whole chicken special as well with sides. The whole pintos were fabulous!! Would recommend and will be returning. Great food and great service!“

“My experience was wonderful. My server Tracy was very knowledgeable about the menu and even knew things I wanted that I didn't. The team seamed upbeat and happy to help. Tracy was thorough and there for every need, even though my children were asking for things everytime she came back. She smiled and made them feel like what they wanted was a non issue.“

“Everything. Food is always amazing, specials to crave year-round. Customer service is always near impeccable, polite, timely and efficient. We love having Worth so close to our shop so we can try everything. We are never disappointed. Worth the price, worth the wait, worth the commute.“

“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.“

“Been going to Lou's since I was a little kid. My late big brother worked there most of his adult life, and when he tragically passed away in 2015, Lucky Lou's name a drink after him and put it on the menu (Jake's Juice if you're interested, it's really good). I just moved in nearby and my love for this place is completely rekindled. Amazing food for super reasonable prices, great staff and has a really unique style. There's nowhere quite like it!“

“We have been to quite a few Restaurants in the area! And had many a Wing ! RW&B by far the Best Wing’s that I have had ??My Wife had the Mediterranean salad with Chicken! She said it was Very Delicious & plentiful! I had the Oven fired pizza ? there’s nothing like it!! Thank you Folks and see you again soon ?And who might be reading this! Please visit them and you will be very pleased with the Staff and Food ??“

“Menu was huge with so many options. Maybe too many options? We had the Teriyaki salad as well as meatloaf with a side of fries and Mac n cheese with green chili's. Food was great and plentiful, service was extremely fast and price was exceptionally reasonable. Will definitely return to try other menu items.“

“I bring mom to eat here once or twice a day. This is her favorite place to eat. She has Dementi, when I ask her why Denny's all the time. Her response is in like they flavor! We enjoy all our servers. Today was Inez but they are all great with my mom and forever grateful.“

“This Dennys at Longbow is our favorite late night restaurant when Ellyce our wonderful server is working the over night shift. It doesn't matter what time we come in she is always happy to see us with a cheerful and happy demeanor. We get a good meal with great conversations! Even if she is busy she always takes great care of us! We keep coming back to see her!“

“Service by the crew was impeccable. Wait person was there to take care of me and my guest and did a super job.Food was beautifully served. Refreshment was as good as our wait person said they would be!!!For me and my friend it was a super up town place to lunch looking forward to having dinner there!Thank you Crew!!!??Wheelchair accessibility: Tables are set apart enough to pass with wheelchair, ground is concrete and flat. Very accessible ?“

“Charleston's is definitely one of my favorite restaurants. The staff is very friendly and the servers are very attentive. But it's the food that keeps you coming back. My daughter and I split an order of ribs and chicken fried chicken and mashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Everything I've ever had there is amazing. It is hard to make a decision. I do wish there was a Charleston's on the west side of town.“

“When you hear about Denny's you don't really expect a 5 star service, but I was pleasantly surprised when I visited Denny's. I haven't been to a Denny's in quite a while but after this visit and the great experience I had with my server I will for sure go back with my group again. Chamille was my server during my visit and wow where do I start? There is so much to say. Just overall amazing service. I have been to other restaurants like Thirsty Lion and that service was mediocre compared to Chamille's service. Very fast, efficient. She knows what she is doing and you can tell she knows her way around. I will for sure come back after this experience. Thank you Chamille, the cooks, and Denny's for such an awesome experience!“

“Fun, clean, inviting sports bar with good food. Some fresh options. My burger was perfectly cooked, well seasoned and served with tasty and hot fries. Friendly attentive service. Staff all spoke to me. My server charming, funny, cute. Tiffany? Michelle? Nikki? Some basic white girl name. Besides pinning the pickle spear to the burger bun (weird) I say this could be my spot.“

“Food is overpriced for portion sizes, but the quality & flavor are good.It's a small place inside & out but popular. You will find yourself waiting if you don't go early enough. I do enjoy the live music on the weekends. Plan ahead or plan to wait. It is enjoyable for small groups of 4 to 6. You can have more people, but probably best to let them know ahead of time if you're planning on more.“

“Great place for socializing and meeting new people! Food is alright, but what food isn't when you've had a few drinks. Great place to play pool, pool tournaments, darts, sing Kareoke with "The Shawn Show," awesome friendly bartenders, barbacks, and shuffle board as they are working on expanding. Love it at Septembers!!!*“

“I enjoyed my breakfast. The service was great and the food was good. I’m not a huge breakfast fan so keep that in mind. My dish was good enough but not memorable. By the time I left, the restaurant was very full/busy. Seems to be a very popular spot.“

“Last of the mom and pop diners around. Great prices, delicious food, and the friendliest crew of lovely ladies!We stopped by on our way out of Phoenix to the Petrified Forest for our first trip to Arizona.Happy, full stomachs and ready for our adventure!“

“We appreciate the nutritious and delicious varieties of salads, sandwiches, sides and drinks that we can have delivered to our dad in Phoenix. We live in CT and the app is easy to use and delivery is always on time! He has a hard time getting around and Chop Shop lunches or dinners are such a treat for him. Thank you for the generous portions. As a native of Arizona, when we’re in town we visit the Chandler, Queen Creek and Mesa shops - always fresh and always amazing. Thank you so much - we truly appreciate you!“

“I would like to thank the location on Power Rd for their attention to my group reservation. I ended up with what was initially a confirmed large number to last minute unknown number & from start to finish, I felt like we received great, courteous service & the food went down well. Thank you!“

“Seriously good food. Excellent service, served fast and hot. Hubby ordered the Rueben and the smoked corned beef was amazing. I enjoyed hot honey boneless wings… real chicken, moist with a light, crispy breading and great flavor. Can’t wait to come back!“

“What can I say about this place. On a business trip from Palm Springs Ca and went there for breakfast. Compared to our top place in PS this place beats it. Alot of bang for your buck. Big portions of food, wow. Food and service was awesome. Place was very nice. If you are within 10 miles of this place, go there.“

“We went for lunch and it was very busy at the time but we were seated very quickly.The hush puppies I cannot get enough of, they are amazing.I had one of the sampler platters with the shrimp, cat fish, hush puppies and another item I can't remember the name of. It has rice and crayfish I believe. Anyhow, that one was not hot, it was still cool and the rice was hard.Aside from that the food and drinks were good.“

“It was awesome. I ordered the same thing my daughter ordered and it was not done enough for me. But I ate it anyway. It was good. It was medium rare.Parking: It was ok. Cause we got there and found a lot of spaces. You have to reserve ahead and you get in a lot faster.“

“my husband and I take our 6 yo Golden, Buddy, for breakfast. Today, I had Green chili tamale, poached eggs with fruit. highly recommend. the ladies were so attentive. Buddy had scrambled eggs and bacon. He got a bowl of water and his breakfast in dog bowls...very dog friendly.“

“The wait staff is friendly and personal. in all the rush our drinks were served quicky and food followed shortly thereafter . Good food too. Birdies changes menu options for different occasions and the specials are always wonderful. A variety of entertainment options keeps the customers entertained. The Divas are our personal favorites. Great voices, personality plus and audience interaction.“

“Food is scrumptious, delicious and healthy , too. It's not often you find that all in one in a restaurant. The staff is courteous, it is spotlessly clean. Plus, the portions are HUGE for the affordable prices. My husband and I frequent there and love date night there or even lunch when we are out and about. 10 STARS!“

“If I could give it a 4.5 I would. The place was very clean and the service was wonderful! We did get Santa originally right at the very front booth next to the bar which happens to be at the front entrance when you come in. Very cute bar. Just beware that sometimes the gas can be a little loud and inappropriate for young ears! To be fair you may see me at that bar one day but I promise you my daughter will not be anywhere within ear shot!Food was delicious I had the chicken and waffles! Yum! Service was fast and good. The waitress once again was excellent! They moved us to a table that better suited our age group and everything was wonderful! Highly recommendFor the grown ups they have a wonderful breakfast mimosa and cocktail list ?Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly just don't sit too close to the bar if you don't want to hear profanities or adult content.“

“I was absolutely blown away from how the atmosphere, stàff, food and prices.changed.I ate at Gabby's two years ago, On a scale 1-10, two years ago I would of given them a 7.. Tonight, walking into the restaurant, the atmosphere was cozy.(having loveseats, comfortable chai8rs my etc....This. restaurant has dramatically changed for the better. Fun place to go with family and/or friends. Nice music playing from the jukebox, pool table if you dare, cocktails to order from the bar.Menu and prices were veryaffordable. Tonight's specials were wings, catfish, or hamburger, all served with fries.prices were 6-7 dollars.I ordered the catfish and fries.$6.00. The Catfish was delicious. I received 4 piecesit tasted delicious ? and was definitely enough to fill me up.100percent Thanks for the place, food, atmosphere,and staff. who were friendly and made sure I was a happy customer.On a scale of 1-20 I give the new Gabby's a 10. I for sure recommend the restaurant and I will be back“

“I've never eaten a bad entree or appetizer from CKF. We have a saying, "they put crack in every dish" seriously addictive. Sorry for the 2 Stars for Atmosphere but it's Gaudy and dated. We'll be back over and over again.“

“absolutely great food. breakfast lunch or dinner. place looks good with new paint and great new owners. staff is amazing from walking in the door to walking out. let's keep this family own company moving in the right direction come visit.“

“This is my favorite restaurant I've ever found. If you want filling, flavorful, authentic Italian food, you HAVE to try it. Every dish my partner and I have tried has been amazing. Wait times are short, the atmosphere is welcoming and unrushed, and they have a great selection of drinks. There will be something for everyone. The fact they partner with other local businesses is another favorite selling point of the restaurant for me. Keep doing what y'all are doing!“

“I've seen this place every time I've driven down signal Butte and finally stopped in for a quick lunch to see how it was. I ordered the Cuban sandwich with fries which I thought was pretty good. It's quite a bit smaller than most places that serve that sandwich but I enjoyed the flavor. The waitress/ bartender was very nice and made sure she came around and checked on us quite a bit. It's an open space and a little dark on the inside, but overall, it was a good spot. I would definitely give this place a second chance and try something different.“

“We had dinner tonight 20 of us in the private dining room. From the time I made the reservation to the end of our meal the experience as outstanding . Food was delicious, service friendly and accommodating, everything was fabulous. Thank you and we can’t wait to come back. Well done ❤️“

“Classic neighborhood pub where everyone knows your name. Food is great and the prices for food and beverage are amazing. Even by todays standards. The staff is friendly and the owner is always has a great sense of humor when he is working.“

“The Owner and the staff are always so friendly, and so professional! The menu is out of this world and everything I have ever eaten there was above par and reasonably priced! The layout was very well thought out and there’s always something going on whether it’s single night, karaoke, poker or live music, there’s just always something to do there! Highly recommend❤️“

“Small problems during my visit-1. My parents are older and they need booths. The host tried to seat us in a table which was fine, but gave an excuse as to why we couldn't have an open booth. I understood because I have experience in this industry, however, other guests wouldn't understand that.2. Some creamer spilled on my dad's plate because my mom and dad didn't have a hold on the plate. Precious time wasted cleaning that up.3. My partner communicated specific details of his dish, yet, it was not fulfilled. This shows me the cooks in the back either made a small mistake or blatantly did not pay attention to detail.Despite all these, the experience was a nice one. I appreciated our server, for she was helpful, knowledgeable, and personable. The store was clean, organized, and was decorated nice. The seasonal menu was divine. Will definitely return sometime.“

“I had a great time at Uncle Bear's Grill & Tap in Greenfield. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure our group had a great dining experience. The menu had a wide variety of options, from appetizers to entrees, and everything we tried was flavorful and satisfying.“

“One of my new go-to breakfast places in the valley! Great menu selection with fantastic tasting food! You have to try the brioche french toast, most amazing french toast you can have. And recently had the overnight oats which were so delicious and healthy! Service is always amazing and prices are fair. I also love how early they are open. Very few restaurants will be open before 7, so that's also a big bonus for myself as a night shift worker. 10/10“

“A cozy little spot to have breakfast with your family! It's got a very small town feel even in the middle of Mesa. Service was polite, and the food was pretty good. The omelette could have had a bit more seasoning, but the texture was great! My husband requested over medium eggs and said he's never had a restaurant do them as perfectly as they did here.“

“This is a super cute locally owned diner. We came for the first time this morning and we loved it. Very relaxed vibe, it’s like going to your grandmas for breakfast. The owner is very nice and personable. Great place for families or meeting a friend for breakfast or lunch. It is kind of hard to find, just go around to the back of the building and you will find it. Super cute patio area!“

“Never been here. Lots of choices in the menu and weekly specials. I had a Southern Meal COLLARD GREENS,CATFISH AND HUSH PUPPIES.Who would've thought! Catfish slightly cooked too long but overall still tasty and delicious. Beer served right out of the can.Very old fashion“

“We were in the area and decided to stop in for dinner on a Monday evening. We’ve never been to Famous Dave’s before and we greeted by our server Espie. She was awesome. You could tell she was busy, but that never interfered with being personable and positive and friendly. She came by several times to apologize for the wait but we were having such a nice time we didn’t mind. She kept us drinked up and the atmosphere was chill and quiet.Our food was so good, I got the baby back ribs.So everything about our first experience at Famous Dave’s was great and I give all the credit to Espie. She remained calm and composed and most importantly friendly.We want to acknowledge what a great asset she is to that place and made the whole experience lovely. We will definitely be coming back because of how well she treated us. And the food and drinks were great too.Thank you for making our night great Espie!“

“I'm a regular here and it's been a while since I gushed about how much I love it. Great beer obvs. I love that BRI is always rotating taps with interesting new brews in a variety of styles while keeping the old faves - all with really polished flavors. I'm not a person who orders the same menu item every time I visit a place but the Nashville Hot Chicken here is my exception. So spicy and crispy I've gotten it on my last three visits. I also LOVE the chicharrones, and the weekly specials never disappoint. Tunes are always on point. Love that you guys added a kids menu! ❤️ Keep being awesome!“

“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.“

“After hearing about Make a Mac on Facebook, I knew i had to swing by and try it out. The first thing that really surprised me was the pricing. Everything is under $10 and the portion size is great. Do you know how hard it is to find something filling from a drive through for under $10?The other thing that surprised me was how accommodating the menu was to anyone with dietary restrictions. Gluten Free, Keto Friendly, Vegan, and even Celiac friendly. I don't have any restrictions and I just got the Owners Favorite, but I imagine it's really hard for people with diet restrictions to find something good when eating out. Good for the owners for putting in the time and effort to plan all of that out.I had a decent commute home but the food was still hot when I got home and it tasted amazing. I was unsure about the pesto on the Owner's Favorite but it made the bowl come together.Really great place and if you're in the area, give it a try!“

“A somewhat eclectic place with an unusual menu. Rather than a traditional Greek restaurant, this place seems to cater to non-traditional foods. As we checked in, we were offered their regular, gluten-free or vegan menus. Half of the starters involved hummus such that I couldn't order anything from that section. I had the green and blue salad topped with shrimp which was quite good. My wife got one of the triple-hummus selections topped with chicken which she said was okay. I also had a margarita which tasted fine but the portion size was smaller than average. My wife ordered the Lemon Drop cocktail which she didn't even finish. The place had some unusual techie sort of music which contributed to the overall weird vibe. We probably won't be back.“

“Good Gourmet style burger. A little greasy for me (I can still taste the grease hours later,) but every now and then I find myself wanting a gourmet style burger dinner. Fries are great! They have worked hard on providing a fun atmosphere. While this is not my perfect burger, I find myself going back. The best part is that the staff really seem to have sincere pride in their work and business. Keep it up!“

“Well, I am in love with this place! And have every intention of dining on the patio next time I come! The restaurant is larger than you think inside. The food was wonderful and there is nothing like a fresh squeezed orange juice mimosa! The atmosphere is lovely as was my server Sarah! And now I have been here twice and highly recommend Amber! I had the avocado toast, which comes with two basted eggs that are cage free, and I have to say their coffee is delicious and smooth! Highly recommend this place and I’ll be back!“

“I went Friday and had a blast! The bartending staff man they make the place so warming and welcoming. The guy was funny and helped me order. The lady was soooo sweet and helpful. The music was good. Overall this was a pretty dope vibe. The security was also kinda cute lol“

“Outside furbaby friendly patio. Food and service very good. They were dealing with seating a youth baseball team that dropped by for breakfast and all the adults that accompanied. Looked like they did a good job of getting everyone seated and were still delivering previous orders and filling coffee cups. There were smiles on all faces throughout. Menu is extensive, something for everyone. Try it out!“
